Can I lose my scholarship if my grades drop during the semester?

Answer:

Yes — in many cases, you can lose your scholarship if your grades drop during the semester, but it depends on the scholarship’s rules.

1. Academic Performance Requirements

• Most scholarships, especially merit-based ones, have a minimum GPA requirement (e.g., 3.0/4.0 or 75%).
• If your GPA falls below this level, you may be placed on probation for one term to improve your grades.
• If you don’t raise your grades during probation, the scholarship may be suspended or revoked.

2. Continuous Enrollment Rules

• Some scholarships require you to maintain full-time enrollment.
• Dropping too many classes could put your scholarship at risk, even if your grades are good.

3. Behavior and Conduct Standards

• Scholarships from universities or organizations may also require you to follow certain code of conduct rules.
• Academic dishonesty or disciplinary issues could lead to losing the scholarship, regardless of grades.

4. Exceptions

• If your grades drop due to serious personal or health issues, some scholarship providers allow appeals.
• You may need to submit medical documents or other proof to request leniency.

✅ Tip: Always read your scholarship’s terms and conditions so you know:

• The exact GPA you need to maintain
• How often your performance is reviewed (every semester or yearly)
• Whether there’s a probation period before losing it
