Basic Rules for Maintaining Eligibility

• In order to renew the New Century Scholarship, you must submit a Payment Request and renewal documents through your account EACH SEMESTER by the deadlines listed below. To maintain eligibility, you are required to enroll in and successfully complete 12 credit hours each semester, earning a 3.3 semester GPA or higher.
  • If you do not earn a 3.3 semester GPA you may be placed on probationary status; however, if you earn a semester GPA lower than a 3.3 for a second semester you will forfeit the scholarship.
• You must renew the scholarship each semester, enrolling in Fall and Spring (Winter) semesters continuously unless an approved leave of absence is obtained.
• The scholarship will expire five years from the date of high school graduation and may be utilized for four semesters, 60 credits, or completion of a bachelor’s degree, whichever comes first. Please note: only credits earned during semesters in which you received a scholarship payment are counted towards the 60 credits. If you do not provide evidence of meeting the renewal requirements by the deadlines (see Deadline tab), you will forfeit the scholarship.

Deadlines for Renewal and Payment Requests

All documentation must be postmarked by the following dates:

• September 15 for Fall Semester
• February 1 for Spring/Winter Semester (if you are attending BYU)
• June 1 for Summer Semester

You are strongly encouraged to submit the required documentation as soon as possible. Payment processing takes 2-3 weeks after all required documents have been received. In some cases, you may not receive the award payment until after tuition is due. In such cases, it is your responsibility to comply with and meet any tuition payment deadlines.

Deadlines for Submitting a Leave of Absence Request

If you do not continuously enroll, you must apply for and be granted an approved leave of absence through the New Century Scholarship office.
