Awards and Scholarships Requirements

All Achievement-based awards will be applied to undergraduate tuition charges at the university campuses in Irving, TX and Rome, Italy. Award types and amounts may be combined at the university’s discretion. The annual proceeds of all achievement-based awards are allocated 50% to fall semester and 50% to spring semester. UD scholarships are limited to 8 semesters. Graduating seniors who do not require full time enrollment must notify the Office of Financial Aid to determine proration of scholarships and other aid. Seminarians follow other guidelines and award structures. Contact Holy Trinity Seminary for details.

The following renewability criteria apply to Achievement-based awards:

  • Each award is available during four school years beginning with the semester of matriculation if the recipient’s academic performance meets or exceeds the following criteria.
  • Students must be enrolled full time at the census date in order to be eligible for their scholarship for that term.
  • All institutionally funded academic awards require a student to be meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) guidelines in the Scholarship and Financial Aid section.
  • SAP will be reviewed at the end of each payment period. Students placed on SAP Warning are eligible to receive their scholarship for one semester.
  • Once a student has been placed on SAP suspension, they are no longer eligible to receive institutionally-funded aid. Students on suspension may appeal in the case of a death of an immediate family member, illness/medical issue or other special circumstance.

In addition, at the end of the student's 4th semester (fall or spring term), he or she must have a 2.5 cumulative GPA. Students with a GPA under a 2.5 will not be eligible for the full scholarship amount until he or she is again meeting SAP and a 2.5 cumulative GPA. For GPAs below 2.0, awards are suspended.

All students, including those with suspended scholarships, are eligible to submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, FAFSA, at https://studentaid.gov/.Students should send their FAFSA results to school code 003651 for consideration of eligibility for need-based aid.
