NECESSARY RENEWAL DOCUMENTS & PROCEDURE

□ On or before May 30 - Print, sign, date and deliver one copy of the Student Certification & Release and other required documentation to the financial aid office at the CU campus where you plan to enroll in the upcoming school year. You do not have to deliver the entire application that you filed online.

NECESSARY APPEAL DOCUMENTS & PROCEDURE
If you did not meet the minimum criteria regarding grade point average, obtained a grade below a C or did not complete a minimum of 24 credit hours relevant to your graduation in a timely manner, T&R Fund recognizes that every student faces challenges that may prevent them from meeting the minimum criteria. As such, we have in place an appeals process whereby you may be able to retain your scholarship. The Appeal Form should be included with your student certification and release form in a sealed envelope and delivered to your financial aid office. If you decide to appeal, your advisor or financial aid officer should be able to give you a sense of whether it is worth your while to undertake the effort. Appeals are not considered if there is a change in marital status, or a material change in your child rearing or financial status.
