Continuation of Eligibility
In order to continue eligibility, a recipient must maintain a cumulative grade average of 3.00 on a 4.00 point scale and must continue to be enrolled in an education major or minor.
In order to continue eligibility after the first year of receiving a WEAC scholarship, a recipient's advisor must submit a statement signed by that advisor certifying that the recipient is enrolled in an education major or minor and is maintaining a 3.00 average on a 4.00 point scale. Such statement must be received by WEAC directly from the advisor no later than July 1 of each year. It is the responsibility of the recipient to ensure that the advisor writes and mails the appropriate statement in a timely manner.
A recipient may retain eligibility for up to one year of non-attendance at a college or university for health reasons. In order to retain eligibility, the recipient must submit a statement from a physician explaining the reason(s) for non-attendance. Such statements must be submitted at the beginning of each school term. During the period of non-attendance the student will not receive the scholarship payments. Scholarship payments and eligibility will be extended for a time equal to the period of non-attendance for health reasons.
The recipient’s parent must remain a WEAC member in good standing. If the recipient’s parent/guardian dies while a WEAC member, the recipient would remain eligible to receive the scholarship.
If the parent’s membership is not continued and the scholarship is discontinued, the recipient may appeal to the WEAC Board of Directors.
