Failure to achieve and maintain the conditions above will result in a reduction and/or adjustment to a non-STEM Merit Scholarship such as Academic Excellence, Leadership or Presidential Scholarship as long as the required minimum grade point average of a 2.5 is maintained. Academic Excellence and Leadership have a lower value than STEM Academic Excellence and STEM Leadership.  Presidential Scholars holds the same value as STEM Presidential Scholars.  The non-STEM Merit scholarship component of this award will continue applying as long as all applicable policies and conditions are met for the remainder of the eight semesters of undergraduate study at the University of Connecticut.  Students must carefully review and accept all policies and conditions before accepting this award.
