Grant and Scholarship Limitations and Renewals

All institutional grants and scholarship awards require the following:

• Maintain good academic standing
• Meet financial aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
• Enrollment in Fall, Winter, and/or Spring Quarters (not available in Summer Sessions).  For specific enrollment status, see below.

Institutional grant awards require the following: 

• A valid FAFSA.
• A complete SPU financial aid file (all documents and requirements submitted and/or completed). 
• Maintaining half-time enrollment (six or more credits per quarter for undergraduates)

Institutional scholarships require the following: 

• Full-time status (12 or more SPU credits per quarter).
• Continuous enrollment in SPU credits. (If you have a break in enrollment, you will forfeit your scholarships unless you have received an exception from SFS prior to leaving SPU.)

Additionally, University policy states that the quarterly total of institutional awards (i.e., grants, scholarships, and tuition discounts) cannot exceed a student’s quarterly cost of tuition. If the total institutional aid for a quarter exceeds the quarterly cost of tuition, institutional aid will be reduced in this order: tuition discount, grant, scholarship.  

Additional information about SPU scholarships can be found here.

All institutional awards also have additional criteria for continued eligibility, which is detailed below.
