Scholarship Policies

Reaching your full academic potential can be a struggle if you don’t have the means to pay for college. That’s why Ensign College provides abundant scholarship opportunities for students in a variety of situations.

If you have been awarded an Ensign College scholarship, please review and abide by the important policies below.

Ensign College scholarship recipients are expected to abide by the Ensign College Scholarship Policies.

1. In order to maintain eligibility for scholarships, students must maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA.
   
2. If students do not meet the minimum GPA requirement, they will not be eligible to receive a scholarship. Students may appeal this disqualification if they experienced extenuating circumstances. After the appeal is submitted, including any supporting documentation, a committee will make the final decision for continued eligibility.
   
3. If a student receives a scholarship that requires 12 credits that have been disbursed, and subsequently drops below 12 credits before the add/drop deadline, the student will be placed on scholarship probation, which prevents them from receiving a scholarship in the next semester they attend at Ensign College.
   
4. Students who are on scholarship probation from previous semesters will not be eligible to receive a scholarship for the next semester they attend.
   
5. The student may use the scholarship award as indicated in the student’s scholarship letter. An academic year begins with the Fall semester and ends with the Spring semester. Specific amounts are assigned to each semester and may not be exceeded.
   
6. Outside agency scholarships may be used in the same semester as an Ensign College award.
   
7. All Ensign Scholarships awarded to a student may be used together (stacked), so as not to exceed the student’s tuition for the semester the scholarships are awarded.
   
8. Students must adhere to all policies and standards of Ensign College and remain in good academic standing.
   
9. Students must remain in good honor code standing to be eligible to receive an Ensign College Scholarship.
   
10. Students may defer scholarships for military service. All other scholarships must be used in the semester for which they are offered and may not be deferred.
    
11. Students must submit a thank-you letter before scholarships will be disbursed.
    
12. Stella Harris Oaks Single Parent Scholarship recipients are encouraged to meet with their academic adviser each semester, as needed.
    
13. Students who are graduating with an AS, AAS, or BAS degree and have been awarded the Academic Merit Scholarship may be eligible for a last-semester exception if they are taking fewer than 12 credits. The Registrar’s Office and the Financial Aid Office will review each request for verification/accuracy. If your application is approved, your scholarship award will be prorated to the number of credits required for your graduation.
    
14. When scholarships are awarded, the GPA used will be the cumulative GPA on the day the scholarship application opens.
    
15. Students may not deviate from established scholarship policies except when granted by the Scholarship Committee through an appeals process.
