Academic Scholarships

Academic scholarships are renewable when the student maintains the required grade point average (GPA).  After two semesters, any student whose cumulative GPA falls below the required level will lose his/her original scholarship amount for the following year.  However, he/she may be eligible for a lower level of academic scholarship.

All student scholarship eligibility is reviewed annually.  Lost scholarships are reinstated annually to the original amount once the student's GPA is at the required renewal level or above.

Doane College is not obligated to replace lost scholarship funds with other types of financial aid.
