Incoming New Students
Carthage administers an aggressive merit scholarship program. These awards are made at the time of admission without
regard to financial need. Several of these scholarships are competitive and require a special application, while others are awarded
automatically. They are based upon demonstrated academic achievement to date and potential to succeed. Available for up to four
years of continuous, full-time undergraduate enrollment, each requires maintenance of a minimum cumulative grade point average
(GPA) at the end of each spring semester as shown below:

At the end of each fall term, the cumulative grade point average is reviewed for continued scholarship eligibility (Satisfactory
Academic Progress).
Continuing Students
Carthage offers continuing students an opportunity to compete for merit awards, such as Heritage Scholarships, Departmental
Honors, Service Fellowships and selected endowed scholarships. These require faculty recommendation and may have
additional stipulations as developed by the department donor.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
At the end of each fall term, the cumulative grade point average (GPA) is reviewed for continued scholarship eligibility.
Students wanting to have J-Term grades taken into consideration must submit a written request to the Carthage Office of Student
Financial Planning prior to the first day of J-Term classes. Warning letters are sent to those students who are currently not meeting
their scholarship terms and the spring term is considered as probationary. At the end of each spring term, the cumulative GPA is
reviewed for all students to determine renewal of the scholarship(s).
If the student's cumulative GPA leads to the termination of the scholarship, the student may submit a written appeal to the
Carthage Office of Student Financial Planning Committee and/or enroll in Summer classes at Carthage to improve the student's
cumulative GPA.
