This scholarship is renewable annually and is available to you during four consecutive school years, dependent upon your academic performance and the criteria stated below.

• Maintain full-time academic status each semester by earning at least twelve UD credit hours per fall and spring semester and earning at least twenty-seven UD credit hours per annual review period.
  
  
• Demonstrate a cumulative UD G.P.A. (grade point average) of at least 3.000 on the annual review date.
  
  
• Complete two advanced courses within the Classics Department beyond the required language Core. Exceptions to this are possible, especially if a scholar elects to study Greek and must start at the elementary level. The exact number of required courses will depend on the student's placement in Latin and/or Greek upon arrival and will be determined by the Chairman of the Department of Classics, Dr. Karl Maurer, who may be contacted at filokalos@aol.com. Courses taken beyond the Core may count as electives.
  
  
• Begin Classics courses during the first semester freshman year, and take at least one course each semester attending the Irving campus until the minimum is reached.
  
  
• Meet with the Classics Advisor each semester for approval of your course schedule until you have achieved the minimum course completion requirement.
