The same schedule will be used to adjust the New Base for the junior and senior years. For example, a student who maintains a 4.0 GPA will receive in successive years $500, $1000, $1500, and $2000 for a four-year scholarship of $5,000. A student who maintains a 3.0 GPA will receive $500, $600, $700, and $800 in successive years or a $2,600 four-year award. Therefore, depending on GPA and progress-toward-degree, students will receive a four-year scholarship ranging between $2,600 and $5,000.
