Renewal Requirements

Information on the renewal requirements for merit-based scholarships offered to incoming freshmen and transfer students can be found in the table below.

• Full-time enrollment (12 or more UTA hours) is required each fall and spring semester for the duration of the scholarship. Funds will not be released at less than full-time enrollment. It is important to note that the minimum hours of full-time enrollment may not be enough to meet the annual renewal requirements for the scholarship. Please refer to the hour requirement for renewal of the scholarship in the chart below.
• Only hours taken and successfully completed at UTA will be counted towards the annual scholarship requirements.
• A minimum cumulative UTA GPA must be maintained for renewal. Please refer to the chart below.
• The year counted for the purpose of scholarship renewal begins with the first fall or spring semester the scholarship is received and ends with the following spring or fall semester that sequentially follows.
• Students who receive a fall scholarship are reviewed at the end of the spring semester for renewal. Students who receive a spring scholarship are reviewed at the end of the fall semester. While summer enrollment is not required, students have the option to take summer classes at UTA to help meet the renewal requirements.
• Annual minimum scholarship renewal requirements must be met by the end of summer for fall scholarship students, and by the end of fall for spring scholarship students. Failure to meet the renewal requirements at that time will result in the termination of the scholarship.
• Students in their final, graduating semester may enroll in less than full-time enrollment for that semester. The amount of the scholarship received in the final semester is based upon enrollment. The amount of the scholarship will be reduced to reflect the student’s enrollment.
• All scholarships administered through the UT Arlington Scholarships Office are reserved for students pursuing their first baccalaureate degrees, in a for-credit, degree-seeking program. Once a student has earned their first baccalaureate degree, they are no longer eligible for the scholarship.
• If a scholarship was cancelled for one semester, it is not eligible to be reinstated. Please visit the Scholarship Appeal Process webpage for details.
