The recently established program “guarantees” a full
four-year scholarship at UT to Toledo
Public High School seniors
who have a cumulative, minimum grade point average of a 3.0
or higher, along with having met other eligibly
requirements.
This scholarship will "guarantee" 100 percent free tuition
and general fee coverage as long as the student remains
full-time at the university and maintains a 3.0 grade point
average or higher. In addition to that, if prospective
students are eligible to receive other types of
financial assistance through
state and federal avenues, the guaranteed “Blue and Gold”
Scholarship Program would then cover any remaining balances.
“There are so many kids that fall through the cracks that
really want to go on with their education,” Ashford said
just prior to presenting the resolution. “I see struggling
parents everyday trying to figure out how they are going to
take that next step; this will allow them to do that!”
The Guaranteed Scholarship Program commenced with TPS
students who graduated in spring of 2009, with enrollment at
the university in the fall of 2009. |
