Section 5.7.14.11 - SELECTION OF SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS

A. Students who wish to apply for a competitive scholarship must:

(1) submit a scholarship application to the institution the student wishes to attend;

(2) have an official high school and/or college transcript on file with the institution's admissions office; and

(3) have an official report of their ACT scores or SAT scores on file with the institution's admissions office.

B. Scholarships may be renewed annually for up to four years provided the student completes the appropriate number of semester credits with the minimum grade point average as required of other academic scholarships at the university in which the student is enrolled. This may vary from university to university but will be a similar policy to that required under other academic scholarships at that school.

C. The number of competitive scholarships selected are not to exceed the number outlined in Subsection A of 5.7.14.13 NMAC. Should the number of eligible applicants exceed this allotment, selection will be from criteria determined by each educational institution.

D. If the scholarship recipient does not meet the criteria listed in Subsection B of 5.7.14.11 NMAC, the student will be placed on provisional status and will assume the responsibility of non-resident tuition. Reinstatement to the scholarship requires that the student meet the minimum semester credits and grade point average as determined by the institution in which the student is enrolled.

E. Participation in the competitive scholarship program does not serve to fulfill residency requirements established by the department.
