These terms and requirements are effective for Scarlet Scholarships awarded to new freshmen for the 2019-2020 academic year and subsequent years.
| 1 | Recipients must remain nonresidents of Nebraska. Any individual who establishes residency for the purpose of paying in-state tuition rate will automatically forfeit the Scarlet Scholarship. |
| 2 | The recipient must enroll full-time (at least 12 UNL credit hours) during each semester of the academic year (fall and spring semesters). These hours must be officially registered by the sixth day of classes each semester. Attending summer sessions is not required. Scholarship applies to undergraduate nonresident tuition. |
| 3 | The recipient must successfully complete 24 UNL credit hours each academic year (fall and spring semesters). Successful completion is defined as the sum of all UNL credit hours completed with a grade of A through D- or Pass (P). Grades of I, N, W, F, and NR are not considered successfully completed. Repeated courses will only count once and must be registered for consecutive semesters (i.e., full-time by sixth day of classes each semester). |
| 4 | Recipients must remain in good academic standing within the University, which requires maintaining satisfactory academic progress towards a degree and a 2.000 cumulative grade point average, measured at the end of every spring semester. The University computes grade point averages to three decimal places and does not round. |
| 5 | The scholarship will be discontinued if the recipient withdraws from school or fails to register for consecutive academic year semesters, unless an exception is granted because of extenuating circumstances. Withdrawing completely, dropping below full-time during the refund period, or enrolling in distance education coursework will cause the scholarship to be reduced to the non-resident portion of tuition. |
| 6 | Recipients cannot combine this award with the benefits of any tuition reciprocity agreement with another state or with any other federal, state or University program where the benefit is the payment of nonresident tuition (in full or part). |
| 7 | The scholarship cannot be used to pay for non-credit courses or non-term specific correspondence courses. |
