Student Responsibilities:

Students who receive University-funded awards are expected to maintain good academic standing for all the terms of their award, and must also apply for financial aid every year within stated deadline dates.

Maintaining good academic standing includes, for most programs, a minimum 3.0 cumulative average. See the charts on this website that outline the Undergraduate Scholarship and Grant Programs and the Awards for Continuing Undergraduates and for Graduate Students , for additional information on the academic standards required for these programs.

The federal government's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed each year within stated deadline dates. Without FAFSA information, no L.I.U.-funded awards may be given. For eligible students, actual TAP and/or Federal Pell Grant Awards must be received by the University by the start of the spring term. Otherwise, scholarship assistance will be canceled for the spring semester. If, during the same semester, the student reimburses the University for the equivalent of the TAP and/or Federal Pell Grant awards that were not received, the University scholarship or grant will be authorized.

The University urges all students to become very familiar with all the guidelines and requirements that surround their University-funded scholarship and grant. To avoid disappointment and to help in planning funding options for their college years, it is most important that every student knows in advance what is required of them as a scholarship holder. We hope that our scholarship and grant recipients will take advantage of all of the information provided under the General Guidelines for Undergraduate Scholarships and Grants available in this website.
