• Recipients must earn at least 30 credit hours per year and maintain the required cumulative grade point average. (Please note, 奖学金续期申请, summer school work, transfer credits and, CLEP credits will not be computed in the cumulative grade point average and number of credit hours used to determine scholarship eligibility).

如果满足了这些要求，学生的最大学龄/学期数
能维持这些奖项的是四年还是八个学期. If a student should remain at the university beyond four years or eight semesters in order to complete the chosen degree requirements, 他/她将负责所有费用. 学生有权对失去奖学金提出上诉, 他们必须遵守奖学金申请政策(见下表)，并提交奖学金申请材料 Merit Scholarship Appeal Form 通过LU自助服务门户.

关于奖学金申请的常见问题

How can I submit an appeal?
To submit an appeal you should complete the scholarship appeal form along with a detailed explanation of the extenuation circumstance and documentation of your extenuating circumstances. 书面陈述应该包括你所申请的奖学金, an explanation of why the minimum requirements were not met and what is your plan of action is to meet the minimum requirements.

什么是情有可原的情况?
Extenuating circumstances may include serious illness of the student or immediate family member, 直系亲属死亡. Supporting documentation must 随附你的书面申诉，可能包括一份专业医生的声明, 帮助过你的顾问, 有治疗日期的医生证明, court records, obituaries, 在辅导中心寻求学术帮助, 与课程讲师的电子邮件通信, etc. Please note, a copy of your academic history is not considered third party documentation.

Can I appeal if this was my first year at LU and I had trouble adjusting or roommate issues?
这种性质的上诉通常不会得到批准. Scholarship losses due to personal issues without documentation of extenuating circumstances will not be considered.

我的特定奖学金的续期标准是什么?
每个奖学金的续期标准可能不同. Individual scholarship requirements can be found in the letter you received when accepting the scholarship. 优秀奖学金(校长和教务长)要求达到3分.3个累积绩点和30个新学分.

新生提供优秀奖学金(狮子转学), 和实现梦想)需要30个新学分和累计绩点3.0. 解放狮子领导需要30个新学分，累积GPA为3.0. 院长奖要求30个新学分，累积GPA为3.每学年结束时3次.

 经济资助申请和学术申请一样吗? 两个问题我能上诉一次吗?
不，学术上诉程序是不同的. If the university has notified you that you are on academic suspension because your GPA is too low, you will need to appeal through the Registrar’s Office to resolve the academic suspension. An academic appeal, if approved, will allow you to enroll in classes for the affected semester; a scholarship or SAP appeal, if approved, 是否允许你收到受影响学期的相关资助.

 The financial aid appeals process deals specifically with whether or not you met all the terms and conditions required for the form of financial aid you received. Please note: if you are on both academic suspension and your scholarship has been suspended, you will need to submit both types of appeals if you wish to enroll and to receive your scholarship.

我会被告知我的上诉状态吗?
上诉可能需要10-15个工作日来审查. 在收到有关您的上诉的所有文件后, 如果您的上诉被批准或拒绝，您将收到电子邮件通知. Appeals that are approved are usually on a probationary status and the probationary requirements will be explained at the time of approval. 在哈佛大学期间，你只能上诉一次.
