Renewal Policy
In order to renew your scholarship each year, the following criteria must be met:
1. You must maintain a cumulative USC grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0*
If your cumulative
GPA or units drop below the requirements, you will be placed on scholarship
probation for a maximum of two semesters. During that period you must
bring your cumulative USC GPA to 3.0 or you will lose your scholarship.
Grades earned overseas study programs or other academic institutions will
not be included in the calculation.
*Note: USC cumulative GPA is the actual earned GPA, not a rounded GPA.
2. You must complete at least 32 USC units toward your undergraduate degree during the academic year (not including summer)
If you complete fewer
than 32 units in one academic year, (not including the summer term), you
will be placed on scholarship probation for a maximum of two semesters,
during which you must complete at least 16 units per semester, or you
will lose your scholarship. You are only allowed one probationary period
for GPA or unit requirements.
3. You must uphold USC's conduct and academic integrity standards.
If you are found responsible, through Student Judicial Affairs and Community Standards, for a serious academic or non-academic conduct violation, resulting in your suspension or expulsion from the university, this will automatically result in a revocation of your Trustee or Presidential scholarship award.
