What is a renewable award?
When you are awarded a scholarship or grant program, you are typically granted one academic year of funding. If the award is renewable, you can continue to receive yearly funding if you meet certain criteria established by your award provider.
For many scholarships, you are expected to maintain full-time enrollment, avoid academic probation for poor grades, and complete a short online renewal application in the spring or summer of your academic year. We will send you an email notification to your account address when renewals open for you.
How do I know my renewal criteria?
Your renewable award will impose some requirements before they allow you to continue to receive funds. To check those out, look in your Award Details or the program FAQ.
How do I know if my renewal was approved?
After the renewal period has closed, you will need to wait for ISTS to check your renewal eligibility. You will receive an email response letting you know if your renewal was approved or not and when to expect the funds. Renewal notifications go out during the summer, typically before August.
When and how do I file a renewal application?
Renewals tend to open in the spring and summer months. When your renewal period opens, ISTS will notify you via email regarding your application procedure and deadline for renewal.
