Receiving Scholarship Funds After the First Year of Eligibility

    There are three methods by which a student may receive funding:

    1. Renewal
      Renewal refers to a student who received an award during one or more terms of the immediately preceding academic year.
    2. Reinstatement
      Reinstatement refers to an eligible student who did not receive funding during the previous academic year.
    3. Restoration
      Restoration refers to a student who:
      1. did not meet the GPA renewal requirement during a prior renewal evaluation period, but met the GPA requirement in a subsequent renewal evaluation period; or
      2. did not meet the minimum credit hours requirement during a prior renewal evaluation period, but met the minimum credit hours requirement in a subsequent renewal evaluation period as well as the minimum GPA requirement (available to students not meeting the hours requirement in the 2009-10 academic year and after); or
      3. was initially eligible for a Florida Academic Scholarship (FAS), dropped to Florida Medallion Scholarship (FMS) eligibility for one year or more, met the FAS requirement in a subsequent renewal evaluation period, and is once again eligible for FAS funding.

    Note: a student who did not meet the hours requirement during the 2008-09 academic year or earlier (fall, spring, and summer) is not eligible to renew or restore his/her scholarship.
