Terms and Conditions for Tuition Scholarships

REGISTRATION AND PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

Graduate students holding tuition scholarships are required to be registered full time in a graduate degree program.

To be registered full time, Level 1 (first-year masters) students must register for 12 graduate credits. Level 2 (second-year masters) students, and Level 3 and 4 (doctoral) students must register for 9 graduate credits.

Registration must be completed before the first day of classes each semester. Continuing students must register in advance.

Students who decline or resign assistantships/fellowships or who allow their registration to drop below full time may become liable for repayment of tuition scholarship awards.

Tuition scholarships are merit-based. Students must be making satisfactory progress toward degree completion.

Recipients of tuition scholarships must maintain a grade point average of at least 3.0. A GPA of less than 3.0 results in probation; students on probation are not eligible to receive tuition scholarships. Students must not have a grade of Withdrawn or No Credit that causes registration to drop below full-time in a semester when University funding was received.

Students should not have Incomplete grades.

PAYMENT OF STUDENT ACCOUNTS BILL

Recipients of tuition scholarships are required to pay the remainder of their bill in full (or return a zero balance bill) by the deadline advertised by the Office of Student Accounts (tuition may be deducted from the total amount due). Failure to do so will result in late fees and penalties.

FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID

All qualified funded students are required to complete FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). All tuition scholarship support is used to establish financial aid loan and Federal Work Study eligibility. Students who have applied for financial aid assistance should be aware that a tuition award does affect the amount of loan eligibility. For more information please contact the Financial Aid Office at (607) 777-2428 or email finaid@binghamton.edu.

NEW YORK STATE RESIDENCY

Tuition scholarship support generally covers tuition costs at New York State resident rates only. Immediately upon arrival, out-of-state residents who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents must take every appropriate action necessary to establish residency. For more information on how to establish residency, please review the residency section of the Student Accounts website at: www.binghamton.edu/student-accounts/residency/apply.html.

Exceptions to this requirement are made for students who are not eligible to become New York State residents, such as international students on temporary (F and J) visas. Exceptions may also be granted by the academic department if all appropriate and timely actions required to establish residency have been taken but the application is denied by the Student Accounts Office.

Alternatively, you will be responsible to pay for the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition beginning with the third semester of funded enrollment.

LIMITATIONS

Tuition scholarship awards do not cover undergraduate courses, audited courses, physical education courses and repeated courses, nor will these courses count toward full-time status. Tuition scholarship awards do not cover mandatory university fees.

Graduate tuition scholarships are generally limited in time, to a maximum of four semesters for students enrolled in a master’s degree program. Students enrolled in a doctoral degree program with a master’s degree in the same field are generally eligible to receive tuition support for a maximum of 8 semesters and those entering a doctoral program with a bachelor’s degree are generally eligible to receive tuition support for a maximum of 12 semesters.

Signing this document indicates that you have read and agree to abide by these terms and conditions, and that you accept the tuition scholarship offer. Your failure to meet these requirements could result in a revocation of your tuition scholarship.
