Only prospective University of Pittsburgh freshman students are eligible to be considered for academic scholarships offered by the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid. The qualification for renewal of a University of Pittsburgh scholarship from year to year generally requires that the student continue to enroll at the Pittsburgh campus as a full time undergraduate student and maintain a cumulative grade point average of not less than 3.00. In a limited number of cases, a student must also continue to enroll in a specific undergraduate school or college.
Academic scholarships are generally limited to eight full time terms of payment.
