Each degree applicant will automatically be considered for the award based on the overall strength of the application. The number of awards varies per year depending on the availability of funding. Pauline Lewis Fellowships are available to new degree candidates enrolled in Hayworth College. Twenty-five students each year will be selected for the Lewis Fellows program upon initial entry to the College. Students are selected during the application process based on their demonstrated potential for academic success and campus leadership.
Awards are renewable each year for a four-year period.
The Student Qualifications Committee evaluates the progress of undergraduate students at Queens and determines eligibility for continued enrollment according to the standards indicated under Student Qualifications. Students receiving Federal Title IV financial aid funds must meet these minimum standards. Statements of Academic Progress Standards are sent to all aid recipients with award notices and are available upon request from the Office of Financial Aid. Financial aid recipients who withdraw during the school year will have their aid prorated according to the regulations governing withdrawal, and may be required to refund monies to various programs. Queens reserves the right to review and modify an offer of financial aid should the recipient receive aid from other sources after the assistance has been offered.
