For example, the Distinguished Dragon awards $14,000 to students with a 3.9 GPA or 30 ACT, the Blaze awards $7,000 to students with a 3.7 GPA or 26 ACT, and the Ignite scholarship awards $2,000 to students with a 3.2 GPA or 23 ACT. “We award scholarships at the time of admission until all funds are fully committed,” Reburn said. More than one way to renew scholarships Another change to the scholarship program is the annual renewal process. Scholarships automatically renew with a 3.5 cumulative GPA, but now students can also renew by achieving a cumulative GPA of 3.0 and participating in student life activities. “We recognize that students succeed in a variety of ways in college and that’s why we’re offering them more than one way to renew their scholarship,” Reburn said. “Getting involved in campus life helps students reach their goal of graduation.” Student life activities may include being active in a student club, conducting research with a faculty member or attending university events.
