Deadline: All freshman academic scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis. A scholarship file must be complete and received in the ISS on or before March 31 for Fall semesters, or September 30 for Spring semesters. A completed scholarship application file includes an application for international undergraduate admission, an application for scholarship, current high school transcript with GPA, and two letters of recommendation.
Freshmen Scholarship Renewal Requirements
Beginning with the spring 2022 semester, scholarship recipients must enroll in a minimum of 15 hours during the fall semester of the freshman year and complete a minimum of 12 hours with a 2.75 cumulative GPA to remain on track for scholarship renewal at the end of the academic year.
Students who do not meet first semester renewal requirements will retain the scholarship awards but receive notification from the Financial Aid Office they are at risk of losing their awards.
Students must enroll in a minimum of 15 hours for the spring semester and complete a total of 27 hours for the freshman year (fall/spring) with a 2.75 cumulative GPA to be eligible for the scholarship for the sophomore year. Transfer, CLEP, AP, and IB credit cannot be used to qualify for scholarship renewal.
Renewal for subsequent semesters requires enrollment in 15 hours each semester and completion of 30 hours each year (fall/spring) with a minimum 2.75 cumulative GPA.
These requirements are not retroactive for previous semesters.
SUMMER EARN BACK PROGRAM
Scholarship students who received their academic scholarship awards in the spring term, but fail to maintain the required number of hours (27 hours for freshmen/30 hours for upperclassmen) with a 2.75 cumulative GPA, may take summer courses to make up deficiencies. Summer courses may be used to meet either the hour or cumulative GPA requirement for continued renewal.
Summer courses taken to reinstate awards must be through Arkansas Tech University and are at the student’s expense.
Application deadline: September 30, 2024
