If the student does not maintain eligibility for scholarship renewal, the student cannot regain eligibility for subsequent/future semesters. The Vision scholarship is the last funding applied, after all other scholarships and grants have been awarded to a student. The Vision scholarship may be reduced and is not permitted to be disbursed to a student as a refund. This scholarship has limited funding, and will be awarded to students that are the first to complete all requirements listed above.
