Southern Union Foundation DE Scholarship Application

Academic Dual Enrollment Scholarship

RULES AND PROCEDURES
The Dual Enrollment Scholarship program is available to eligible high school students who enroll in a college course at Southern Union that awards both college credit and high school credit for the same course. This program provides opportunities for students to begin working toward a college degree, while still pursuing a high school diploma.

ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS
To be eligible for the Dual Enrollment Scholarship program, a student must:

Obtain a Southern Union Student ID number (A-number) by completing the admission process to SU
Be in the 10th, 11th, or 12th grade
Have a minimum cumulative (unweighted) high school GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.

NOTE: New dual enrollment students must submit their current high school transcript along with this application.

AWARD AMOUNTS
A student may receive funding for one 3 credit-hour academic course per semester. Students must have met all college admission and course requirements to be awarded a scholarship. The scholarship covers TUITION and the FEES (bond surety, technology, facilities and special building) for one 3 credit-hour academic course. The scholarship does not cover the Alabama Community College Enhancement fee nor any additional fees associated with online courses, such as proctor fees.

RENEWAL
Students may reapply for renewal of the scholarship for one additional semester. A 2.5 GPA in SU courses must be maintained to renew the scholarship. Renewal depends on available funding. Consideration for renewal will not be given to students who have previously withdrawn from Dual Enrollment courses. There is no refund for withdrawal from a course.

LENGTH OF ELIGIBILITY
A student's participation in the Dual Enrollment Scholarship program is limited to the remaining amount of time normally required to complete the high school diploma, from the time of initial participation in the program.
