Applicants planning to enroll as full-time students (9 - 12 credit hours) in the Graduate Counseling program may qualify for $1,000 each semester. Two new awards will be made yearly. This is a competitive scholarship requiring an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.5.
The Graduate School recognizes nine semester hours during a long session semester and three hours during a summer session as a minimum full-time course load. Individual graduate programs may require more. The three semester credit hour minimum course load for the summer session may be satisfied in one six-week term, or in the nine-week or twelve-week terms. Students enrolled in Affiliated Studies are considered full-time students. The maximum course load for a graduate student is fifteen semester hours in a spring or fall semester, or twelve semester hours in a twelve-week summer session. you will need to find out from your school how many credits are needed to be considered a full time student. i feel 15 credit hours is very reasonable.
