• Students may only be paid for a maximum of 150% of their particular program length.  Students may NOT receive Wilder-Naifeh funds after they receive the highest award in one program of study.  Students may transfer to another TTC and maintain eligibility as long as they have continuous enrollment from one TTC to another AND have not received the highest award in the program of study.

• To maintain the Wilder-Naifeh Grant students must simply maintain satisfactory academic progress ( a grade of “C” or better) and meet attendance requirements.  THERE IS NO APPEAL OF SATISFACTORY PROGRESS FOR WILDER-NAIFEH FUNDS.  Students may ask for a leave of absence in rare and unusual circumstances.

• Caution! Any individual who receives the Hope Scholarship is not eligible for the Wilder-Naifeh. Hope Scholarship recipients who enroll in a community college or four year institution and drop out before completing their program cannot receive the Wilder-Naifeh Grant.
