Students may not directly receive any PBC Scholarship Award funds. Should a school inadvertently issue a refund of PBC Scholarship funds to you, you should immediately return the money to the PBC Scholarship Fund. Not doing so is grounds for losing your scholarship and eligibility for future awards.
You must maintain satisfactory academic progress and a satisfactory academic record. If you are placed on academic probation or suspension or lose your eligibility for federal and/or state aid, the scholarship may be reduced or withdrawn at the discretion of The PBC Scholarship Panel.
Should you withdraw from school, the PBC Scholarship Panel must be notified immediately in writing. Any scholarship balance must be refunded to the PBC Scholarship Fund. It is your responsibility to arrange this with your institution.
If noted in the award letter, your scholarship may be renewable. Total support cannot exceed two years for an associate program, four years for a bachelor’s degree and three years for post-graduate studies except medicine and pharmacy, which allow a maximum of four years. Eligibility ends after the maximum number of years or upon graduation, whichever is sooner. The Scholarship can only be renewed for a maximum of 6 years. Students eligible for renewal will automatically receive a renewal form each spring. You must complete and return the form and arrange for a transcript to be mailed to the PBC Scholarship Panel by the required deadline. The transcript must contain grades for the entire academic year.
It is your responsibility to immediately inform the PBC Scholarship Panel of any change in permanent address, college attended or financial circumstances that reduce your need for assistance. Not complying will result in loss of the scholarship.
