Students must achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 in subjects required for high school graduation, excluding electives, a 3.50 GPA in required vocational or technology education courses, have completed a two-year sequential vocational or technical education program, have passed the College Placement Test, and have earned a vocational-ready diploma.

To renew the scholarship, students must achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75.

The award is 75% of tuition and fees based on the average tuition and fees in the state university and community college system. The award may cover up to 45 trimester credit hours per academic year. Summer tuition and fees may be covered if funds are available and the student has not completed 45 trimester credit hours during the first two trimesters.

This is a two-year scholarship. Students may use the scholarship for up to 90 trimester credit hours or their equivalent. However, recipients may become eligible to continue a four-year degree by transferring to a Medallion Scholars Award if accepted into an upper division program.
