Health and Physical Education

Definition of Awards: In general, awards are one-time honors. They may or may not carry a monetary award. In most cases, they are recognized at the Honor’s Day Award Ceremony.

Definition of Scholarships: Scholarships, in most cases, may be renewed annually provided that the criteria continue to be met (i.e. GPA, financial need, residency, etc). In the case of specific College of Health Sciences and individual department scholarships – these are not transferable to another major. For example, a scholarship in nursing carries the criteria of being a nursing major. The scholarship will be forfeited if you change majors outside of nursing. Scholarships awarded at the University level may or may not be transferable.
