Students are awarded a $5,000 scholarship renewable for four years (five years, for Architecture students) provided the student maintains full-time enrollment and a minimum 3.00 grade point average. If a secondary school designates more than one valedictorian and both (or all) valedictorians attend Tulane, the $5,000 will be divided equally among the students.

General Renewal Conditions
The scholarships are guaranteed at the same amount awarded to the student for the remainder of their undergraduate career provided the student maintains a 3.00 cumulative grade point average and continuous enrollment in a full-time undergraduate division. Any "incomplete" grades must be resolved before eligibility for continuation of the scholarship can be determined.

Seniors in their last semester who enroll less than full-time may still receive the scholarship, but the amount will be reduced by the amount of the tuition reduction.

Other students who enroll in or drop to less than full-time in the fall semester will have their scholarship reduced by their tuition reduction, if any. They will be allowed to retain their tuition scholarship for the spring semester provided they enroll full-time, but will lose eligibility for all following years since the scholarship guidelines require that students maintain continuous full-time enrollment. Students who enroll in or drop to less than full-time in the spring semester will have their tuition scholarship reduced by their tuition reduction, if any, but will lose eligibility for the scholarship in future semesters. A student with truly extenuating circumstances may appeal the loss of scholarship aid. For more information about the appeal process, please click here.

Students who take an approved leave of absence may regain their scholarship upon their return provided they continue to meet all academic and enrollment conditions and submit documentation verifying the approved leave of absence. Acceptable documentation is either a copy of their college's approved leave of absence form or a letter from their academic dean's office confirming the terms and length of the student's approved leave of absence.
