Students who receive a merit-based academic tuition scholarship are required to maintain
a 2.5 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) and full-time, continuous enrollment at
Washington College. International students who receive a merit scholarship are required
to maintain a 2.0 CGPA.
Students who receive an endowed scholarship, unless otherwise stated in the Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU), are required to maintain a 2.5 CGPA and full-time continuous
enrollment at Washington College. Endowed scholarships may or may not be renewable.
Students who leave WC and do not attend another college and are meeting the minimum
2.5 WC CGPA when they leave will automatically be eligible for their merit aid upon
return to WC. Financial aid will automatically review their file upon notification
of their return to WC. Students who have received need-based aid in prior years will
be reviewed upon receipt of the FAFSA for the academic year in which they return.
Eligibility for need-based aid will be determined whent he FAFSA is received.
Students who leave WC and attend another school will not be eligible for their merit
and/or need-based aid. Students may appeal and should contact the Financial Aid office
to begin that process.
Students who are not meeting the minimum criteria will not be eligible for the respective
aid upon their return. Students will have the ability to appeal if there was an extenuating
circumstance.
Scholarships eligibility is for a maximum of eight semesters. Renewal eligibility will be reviewed at the end of every spring term. Students will be notified
in June of their merit award status.
