02.10 Student Financial Aid
02.10.01 Minimum Requirements for Merit-Based Financial Aid
Undergraduate Students: A cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 by the end of the first year of study is required to maintain your full merit-based financial aid. Failure to maintain a 3.0 CGPA by the end of the first year of studies (or any subsequent semester) will result in a loss of a minimum of $500 of any merit scholarship. If a student is placed on probation, a merit scholarship will normally be reduced by a total of $1000 for the first semester of probation, and $1500 for the second semester of probation. This financial penalty also applies to probation resulting from a violation of academic integrity. [rev 8/04]
In more serious cases the Eastman School of Music reserves the right to remove a student's entire merit scholarship award. Need-based scholarships are not affected by these academic or performance standards, but may be subject to Federal and State requirements.
Normally, students on probation will be required to improve their work sufficiently during the next semester of enrollment to remove them from this status. Students on probation, with the exception of freshmen, may lose some or all of any merit scholarship they may have. Students who are permitted to remain on probation for more than one semester risk loss of additional merit scholarship and dismissal from School. Each student on probation, and their parents, will be notified in writing by the dean of academic affairs of the requirements that must be satisfied to preclude dismissal.
