In order to maintain any institutional scholarship or grant, the student must complete a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 (rounding permitted at the one-thousandth position). Institutional aid renewal eligibility is reviewed at the end of the academic year. A student whose institutional aid is not renewed will be ineligible for an academic scholarship until a cumulative GPA of 2.0 is achieved.
William Jewell has restructured and renamed institutional grants and scholarships over the years. Below is a list of scholarships (but not limited to) that require a GPA of at least 2.0:
- Jewell Scholarship (less than full-tuition award)
- Presidential Scholarship
- Dean’s Scholarship
- Trustee’s Scholarship
- Faculty Scholarship
- National Merit Semifinalist Scholarship
- IB Diploma Scholarship
- Doniphan Scholarship
- Yates Medallion Scholarship
- Achiever Scholarship
- All Transfer Scholarships
- Oxbridge Scholarships
- Honors Scholarships
- Athletic Scholarships
- Performing Arts Scholarships
Any institutional aid that also includes a participatory mandate may still be impacted if this basic renewal criterion is met but the student is no longer eligible to participate in the co-curricular or academic program. Institutional aid is defined as Academic, Departmental, Athletic, Tuition Remission, or any scholarship/grant from William Jewell College.
