II. Maintenance of Scholarship:Regardless of the freshman year scholarship type and percentage,
except for president’s and sports scholarships, the scholarship percentage in subsequent years is dependent on the student’s cumulative GPA at Nile University as per the table below. President’s and Sports scholarships have their own maintenance rules shown above. Scholarship percentage is determined in the summer of each year for students who will register in the following fall and will apply to the whole year including the following summer (September to August). Scholarships may change from one year to another based on the student’s cumulative GPA at the end of each academic year as explained earlier and shown below.
