Maintaining Hope Scholarship

HOPE Scholarship GPA Continuation Requirements

For HOPE Scholarship purposes, your HOPE GPA is calculated differently than your Institutional GPA. Your HOPE GPA includes ALL credits received after high school graduation including developmental and repeated courses. We do not include any credits received prior to high school graduation. For example, we do not count dual enrollment courses in your HOPE GPA.

Hope Scholarship Enrollment Continuation Requirements

For HOPE Scholarship purposes there are enrollment statuses a student must maintain to continue receiving the scholarship. If you change your enrollment status in one of the following ways, you are in jeopardy of forfeiting your HOPE Scholarship. Forfeiture means you are no longer eligible for the HOPE Scholarship for all future terms.

You will forfeit your HOPE Scholarship if one of the following occurs:

  • You have totally withdrawn from Maryville College after the census date.
  • You have dropped below full time enrollment (or from part time to less than 6 credit hours) after the census date (last day to drop before a W is received);                   
  • You have taken off a Fall or Spring semester (attending one credit hour will maintain your HOPE eligibility);
