Scholarship Terms and Conditions

Luckyday Scholarship amounts are calculated annually based upon your remaining financial need after grant and scholarship awards from other sources had been taken into account. The receipt of other scholarships and grants resources (including military stipends, veteran’s benefits, Sumner grant and funds drawn from prepaid tuition programs) may reduce the amount of your Luckyday Scholarship.

 

Full-time enrollment of at least 12 hours each semester is required.  Failure to maintain 12 or more hours each semester will result in the payback of the Luckyday Scholarship; Independent Study course work will not be counted toward this minimum 12 hour requirement.
