Athletic Scholarship
A full grant-in-aid "athletic scholarship" is defined as financial aid that consists of tuition and fees, room and board, and required course-related textbooks.
Period of Institutional Financial Aid Award:
- When a student’s athletic ability is taken into consideration in any degree in awarding financial aid, such aid shall not be awarded in excess of one academic year
- A staff member may inform a prospect that the athletics department will recommend to the financial aid authority that the prospect’s financial aid be renewed each year for a period of four years. The prospect must be informed that the renewal will not be automatic
- It is not permissible for an institution to assure the prospect that it will continue a grant-in-aid past the one-year period if the recipient sustains an injury that prevents him/her from competing in intercollegiate athletics
Reduction and Cancellation during the Period of Award:
- If an athlete renders himself or herself ineligible for intercollegiate athletics competition; or
- Fraudulently misrepresents any information on an application, letter of intent, or financial aid agreement; or
- Engages in serious misconduct warranting substantial disciplinary penalty; or
- Voluntarily withdraws from a sport at any time for personal reasons; however, the recipient’s financial aid may not be awarded to another student-athlete in the term in which the aid was reduced or cancelled
