Will an MIP charge affect my scholarship?

<p>So long story short I was stupid last night and got an MIP charge. Obviously I've learned my lesson, but I'm concerned that this charge could affect my university scholarship. I know Ann Arbor offers a rehabilitation program to get the charge expunged from my record but could the university still find out? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Depends on the scholarship. If its an academic scholarship, it shouldn’t be a problem.</p>

<p>Does anyone really learn a lesson after getting an MIP, other than to not get caught?</p>

<p>How would we know? Check with your school. The people who gave you your scholarship.</p>

<p>Must not be an academic scholarship if you were stupid last night.</p>

<p>I have a friend that really, truly did. If nothing else I think it certainly makes you think again about your priorities.</p>

<p>Basically the lesson is to never go to Greenwood.</p>

<p>I didn’t know they gave out MIPs at Greenwood. I thought they just busted block parties.</p>

<p>If you have to reapply for your scholarship all the time, and if they ask you, “Have you been found guilty of any criminal charges”-- (and if you are truthful) then yeah, they will find out. Otherwise they are not going to spend money running everyone’s criminal history before renewing scholarships so I wouldn’t worry about it. PS the University has free legal counsel for students (search for it on U website), why don’t you check to see if they can give you any advice about the charges, unless you have your own lawyer.</p>
