Lyon Scholarship Maintenance Requirements

Residency Requirements

  • All Lyon students, unless automatically exempt (as stated in the Residence Life section of the catalog) are required to reside on campus or in campus-owned housing.
  • Students holding a Lyon Honors Fellowship must live on campus their first year and are subject to the Lyon Resident Policy in subsequent years.

Academic Requirements

  • Students holding a Lyon Honors Fellowship will have their cumulative GPAs reviewed at the end of each academic year. The minimum cumulative GPA requirement for a Lyon Honors Fellowship is 3.25

Students failing to meet the minimum cumulative GPA requirements will lose their Lyon Scholarship.

Other Lyon Scholarships (Academic and Performance)

  1. Students holding all other Lyon scholarships (academic, fine arts, transfer, etc.) may have their cumulative GPAs reviewed at the end of each academic semester for academic good standing. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 is required for all other Lyon scholarships.
  2. See Academic Probation.
  3. Should the student not raise their cumulative GPA at the end of the probation semester to the level required for ‘good academic standing’, they will be suspended from the College and may result in an adjustment of their Lyon aid.

Loss of Lyon Scholarships

  • Students who have had their financial aid adjusted due to academics may appeal that decision. They must submit a written appeal to the director of financial aid detailing the extenuating circumstances that resulted in their deficient academic performance causing the adjustment of their aid. The appeal will be evaluated by the Admission and Financial Aid Committee.
  • Students who are suspended or lose their scholarships at the end of the spring semester may elect to go to summer school at Lyon. Summer credit at Lyon will be calculated into their cumulative Lyon GPA and could impact the reinstatement of their scholarship and good standing at the College.
