Ninth Semester Aid for Continuing Students

9th Semester Award Criteria
Rhodes provides eligible students with institutional merit scholarship and grants for up to eight semesters or the completion of their Rhodes degree, whichever comes first. Students wishing to continue their education for a 9th semester may apply for an exception to this policy by completing this application. While institutional priority will be to fund students seeking their primary undergraduate degree, Rhodes may, depending on available resources and demonstrated need, provide institutional funding proportional of previous semesters awards not to exceed 50% of tuition for the enrolled semester. Students may enroll less than full-time for the 9th semester of aid; in such case they will receive a prorated disbursement of the 9th semester award. Rhodes will not provide institutional funding to replace state or federal assistance that has been exhausted by prior enrollment. The awarding of the exception applies to 9th semester and does not extend to semesters beyond that period.
