To be able to continue getting the federal student aid, students also need to abide by federal laws. According to the federal laws, the scholarship receiving candidate should keep on making satisfactory academic progress (SAP). The point is that if the student fails to male progress consistently, the taxpayer money used to fund the student college education is simply wasted. Therefore, students need to score at least a C average (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) to be able to continue receiving the financial aid.
If a student fails to perform consistently, most of the colleges will issue a warning, referred to as ‘academic probation'. There are some special cases where the college may decide to waive the requirements temporarily. These special circumstances behind the failure of academic progress can be personal injury, student ailment or the death of a close relative. In order to regain the eligibility for receiving the scholarship award, students will need to improve their GPA above the C average threshold. Under these circumstances, students will need to use their own financial resources or take up a private student loan.
