Scholarship Renewal Information
-
Institutionally funded scholarships with renewal criteria are reviewed annually at the end of every spring semester. Summer coursework can be used for renewal to make up deficiencies if you do not meet the published renewal criteria. Dual credit and college coursework taken at other institutions can be counted toward MSU scholarship renewal. All institutional scholarships can be renewed for the lesser of 5 academic years or the completion of a first baccalaureate degree.
If any of the published renewal criteria are not met, your scholarship will not be available for the upcoming academic year. If a student fails to renew their scholarship due to exetnuating circumstances, they are encouraged to submit a scholarship appeal form (see details below). If you do not qualify for an appeal, you may still pursue scholarship reinstatement.

Scholarship reinstatement
Students who fail to meet scholarship renewal criteria will not receive the scholarship for the following academic year (and will lose one year of scholarship eligibility) but may regain the scholarship for the second following year by having the required cumulative GPA at the end of that year and completing other renewal requirements (if applicable). This is not an automatic process; instead, students must complete and submit the Request to Reinstate Scholarship form and return it to the Office of Student Financial Aid no later than the first day of classes for the academic year for which they are requesting reinstatement.
Scholarship appeals
If a student does not meet the renewal criteria, there are no provisions beyond the Scholarship Reinstatement policy listed above for reinstating a scholarship for future semesters. However, if problems occur due to some extenuating circumstance or medical emergency, students may appeal to the Scholarship Appeal Committee through the Office of Student Financial Aid. Students wishing to appeal the termination of their institutional scholarship should complete the Institutional Scholarship Appeal form.
