10. Provisional consideration for all scholars:  “If an endowed scholarship recipient does not meet the original 3.0 GPA requirement, the Board reserves the right to place this student on probation for one semester, only if the cumulative GPA of 3.0 can be mathematically obtained by the following semester.  If it is determined that the cumulative GPA of 3.0 is not mathematically obtainable the award will be immediately terminated.  This probation option will only be allowed once during the entire scholarship and college enrollment period.”

All of the above criteria must be met or the student forfeits the scholarship.
