academic success rebate program |

Technically not a scholarship, but guaranteed money just the same.
The OU Academic Success Rebate Program will reward academic excellence among upperclass and graduate students* living in OU Traditions Square or the residence halls beginning in Fall 2008.
Prior to the start of each semester, OU cumulative grade point averages (G.P.A.s) will be reviewed and the appropriate rebate will be applied to a student's bursar account at the end of that semester. Of course, to participate in the program, students agree to grant a housing official permission to review their academic records.
Students who quality for other Housing and Food Services discounts, such as the h&f Loyalty Program, will still qualify for the OU Academic Success Rebate Program.
The value of the rebate will depend on the student's cumulative OU GPA, and it requires nothing of the student except academic achievement and residing on campus, which is already statistically demonstrated to enhance a student's scholastic performance, according to OU's Office of Institutional Research and Reporting.
The cumulative OU GPA and rebate scale is as follows:
- 3.25 - 3.49 ($100)
- 3.50 - 3.74 ($200)
- 3.75 - 3.99 ($300)
- 4.0 ($400)
*Resident Advisers, Room and Board participants and exchange students are ineligible for this program. |
