Because scholarship funds are limited, the university prefers to award as many students as possible rather than award a few students many scholarships. Consequently, students rarely receive more than one scholarship, although colleges and departments occasionally will supplement a student's university award. Because scholarship funds are limited, they are designated for full-time students completing, on average 12 hours per semester, or 6 hours per term. We sometimes make exceptions to the full-time enrollment requirement for single parents or for students suffering from a severe illness or injury, but the exception is usually granted for a single enrollment. These are very rare, but there are a few private scholarships designed to assist with post-graduate schooling.
