For students enrolled after January 1, 2023
The following guidelines will apply to undergraduate students awarded an admission scholarship for an initial enrollment period after January 1, 2023. Bellin College admission scholarship funds are to be used to pay for educational costs incurred while enrolled at Bellin College. A student awarded any scholarship is expected to comply with and uphold the positive values and mission of Bellin College on and off campus. Behavior violations of any kind may result in the loss of scholarship.
Award Values
Admission scholarship funds are awarded over the course of the student’s expected enrollment at Bellin College and will be paid incrementally over all anticipated terms of enrollment, as indicated in the student’s admission scholarship award notification letter. The letter may be viewed in the MyBC Student Portal under My Financial Aid, Completed Documents.
Anticipated Term of Enrollment
The award will be disbursed beginning with the student’s initial term of enrollment at Bellin College, as indicated on the student’s admission application and admission scholarship award notification letter. Failing to enroll at Bellin College, changing program tracks or withdrawal may result in forfeiture of admission scholarship funds. If the student applies for entry in a subsequent term, admission scholarship funds eligibility will be evaluated based on available credentials and admission scholarship guidelines in effect at the time of admission for that term of entry.
Eligibility
Admission scholarship reviews will begin when a student is accepted into the program. Eligibility is based on information collected as part of the admission application process; no additional application is required.
Once the Admissions Scholarship eligibility is determined, the student may request a ‘re-review’ one time, in writing, if he/she feels that additional information submitted after the initial scholarship review (ie. final grade transcripts), may impact the eligibility. The request must be sent to the Bellin College Admissions representative at least one week prior to the start of the student’s first Bellin College class.
Scholarship Retention
For a student to retain eligibility of their admissions scholarship for the entirety of their enrollment at Bellin College, their cumulative Bellin College GPA must be a minimum of 3.00 at the end of each of the official review semesters indicated in their admissions scholarship award notification letter. Only courses taken at Bellin College will be used in determining the GPA. Failure to meet the minimum required GPA at the end of each review semester will result in forfeiture of all remaining semester allocations of the admissions scholarship.
An allocation of an admissions scholarship for a semester in which there are no tuition and fee charges will be carried over to the subsequent semester.
Should a student’s enrollment plan extend beyond the number of semesters in their original anticipated terms of enrollment, as indicated in their admissions scholarship award notification letter, unspent admissions scholarship funds will be reallocated based on the anticipated extended enrollment terms, provided the student remains continuously enrolled at Bellin College or in an approved deferred progression status. The scholarship allocation will be prorated based on the number of credits to be enrolled in each remaining term. The original 3.0 GPA requirement and review schedule will remain intact, however, if the total enrollment extends beyond three academic years, an additional review semester will be added to ensure one review semester per academic year.
The Bellin College admissions scholarship semester allocation cannot exceed semester tuition and fees charges. Any excess admissions scholarship funds will be held on a student account and applied to the following enrolled semester if all other retention requirements are met.
Withdrawal or Termination
The scholarship becomes null and void at the time of withdrawal or termination from the College regardless of the circumstances surrounding the withdrawal. If the withdrawal occurs after the start of classes in a semester in which an admissions scholarship allocation is received, the scholarship portion received for that semester will be subject to the Bellin College withdrawal policy which mirrors that set by the US Department of Education. The admission scholarship allocation will be adjusted as follows:
Withdrawal during published Drop/Add Period: 100% of the scholarship will be canceled.
After the 60% point of the semester (based on full semester begin/end dates, not course begin/end dates): There will be no reduction of the scholarship for that semester.
Withdrawal between Drop/Add and the 60% point will be calculated based on the percentage of the semester completed. For example, if 40% of the semester was completed, 40% of the scholarship will be retained on the account (60% will be canceled).
All unspent/unused semester disbursements will become void upon withdrawal/termination from Bellin College.
For students enrolled prior to December 31, 2022
