SILETZ HIGHER EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP POLICY FY 81
H.
Funding Priorities (cont,):
Grants to attend private institutions and out-of-state institutions may be
awarded in cases where a student can demonstrate that his/her field of study is
unavailable within the state or that attendance at a private school is justified
in that it better meets the student’s needs. Generally, grants to such
institutions shall be based on the amount needed by a student attending a state
supported school; however, the Scholarship Review Staff may grant exceptions to
this rule.
I.
Conditions for Continuation of Funding:
Grants shall be awarded only to students who remain in good academic standing
(usually 2.0 or better for undergraduates - 3.0 for graduate students) while
enrolled full-time (usually 12 credit hours per term for undergraduates/9 credit
hours for graduate students) and normally for a maximum of 12 terms for
undergraduates.
Students placed on academic probation will have one term after being placed on
probation to raise their G.P.A. to a 2,0 or better. Students placed on
probation a second time who do not bring their accumulative G.P.A. up to at
least a 2,0 within two terms will be reviewed by the Staff to determine whether
their grant shall be continued. Students who have lost their grants, but
raised their accumulative G.P.A. to a 2.0 or better without assistance through
this program may be given funding priority and have their grant reinstated.
Each student receiving funds through this program shall submit a copy of each
term’s grade report to the Scholarship Staff/ Funding for the next term shall
not be released until the Staff is in receipt of the previous term’s grade
report or a statement from the student explaining any delay in providing grade
reports.
J.
Duration of Funding;
Normally, undergraduate students shall be encouraged to take sufficient course
loads to complete a degree with a declared major in 12 terms or four academic
years.
K.
Conflict of Interest:
When a member of the Higher Education Scholarship Staff receives an application
from one of the following: husband, wife, grandmother, grandfather, father,
mother, stepmother, stepfather, stepchild, sister, brother, stepsister or
stepbrother it will be considered a case of ’’conflict of interest’’ and that
official will not be involved in processing the application.
It will be
processed by the other members of the Scholarship Staff.
L.
Existing Grant Awards:
Grants awarded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs for fall term, i980 shall be
re-assessed during 'Winter term 1981. Grant amounts may be adjusted by the
Scholarship Staff as a result of that re-assessment.
