Renewal Requirements for Degree Seeking Students
The Scholarship will automatically be renewed by the college if the student has at least an overall 2.75 GPA at the end of the first twelve-month period on college work attempted. Thereafter a 3.00 cumulative GPA is required.
A student must complete thirty credit hours over a twelve-month period, beginning with a student’s first year on a college campus. A student may use subsequent summer sessions to complete the thirty hour requirements. [NEW (November 2004) - Due to funding constraints, the PROMISE Board will not be implementing the policy of allowing students to use the scholarship for the payment of summer school classes. Any college credit (as well as the GPA for those credits) earned prior to the actual enrollment in college does not affect the student’s eligibility for renewal for the scholarship. Only those credits and grades earned while the student is a PROMISE Scholar count for purposes of determining renewal eligibility. Please remember that students who lose the PROMISE Scholarship will not be able to regain it later on.
Length of Scholarship Requirements for Degree Seeking Students
The Board will establish renewal eligibility requirements that reflect academic progress towards completion of a degree at the undergraduate level.
Transfer Students
Students transferring from one PROMISE eligible institution to another can maintain PROMISE eligibility.
Coordination of Financial Aid
The amount of a PROMISE Scholarship awarded in combination with aid from all other sources shall not exceed the cost of the education at the institution the recipient is attending. (This restriction does not apply to those members of the WV National Guard, recipients of an Underwood-Smith teacher scholarship, and recipients of a West Virginia engineering, science and technology scholarship). The PROMISE Scholarship will not pay an amount that exceeds the cost of tuition at state institutions of higher education.
All students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and be on file with the Higher Education Policy Commission by March 1st when submitting an initial application. Students do not need to file an additional application to renew their PROMISE Scholarship.
