Valparaiso University International Undergraduate Merit-Based Scholarships in the USA
Congratulations on your scholarship and housing grant to Valparaiso University. Please be aware of the following to keep your scholarship and housing grants.
International Merit-based scholarships are offered to students demonstrating exceptional high school achievement. To receive financial aid at Valparaiso University, you must maintain satisfactory academic progress toward your degree. In order to continue to receive financial aid, undergraduate students must maintain the following minimum grade point average:
- Freshmen (less than 24 credit hours completed) 1.65
- Sophomores (24 to 55 credit hours completed) 1.75
- Junior and above (greater than 55 credit hours completed) 2.00
- Credit Hours Completed
You must complete at least 2/3’s of all credit hours attempted with a passing grade. At the end of each academic year, your total hours successfully completed will be compared to your total hours attempted to determine whether you are meeting this requirement. All courses that you remain enrolled in past the add/drop period will count as attempted, even courses with a grade of “W” or its equivalent. Transfer credits accepted by Valparaiso University are not included in both the attempted and the completed credits.
