Important Requirements for Your Shocker Promise Scholarship

Your promise scholarship is available for a maximum of eight consecutive fall and spring semesters or to the point you have completed the requirements to graduate, whichever comes first. The value of the scholarship is initially estimated for the academic year. It is finalized by August and January of each semester and is based on tuition and required course fees less the combination of other gift aid at 萝莉社.

I am so grateful for the Shocker Promise Scholarship; it helped me pursue my degree at 萝莉社 when I was nervous about how else I could pay.
