Scholarship Renewal
The College of Law, when providing renewable awards to incoming students, fully expects that all recipients are capable of achieving and maintaining the required GPA to have the award renewed. Renewable awards are monitored once spring semester grades are available.
For the Class Entering in Fall 2012, changes have been made to the renewal criteria. These changes are expected to result in a higher level of renewal compared to the 2011 data. Details regarding the expected class rank required for renewal of these awards is provided to recipients at the time the award is made.
