Failure to continue to be fully eligible each semester while holding this scholarship, will require the scholarship to be canceled.
  • Post-Program Maintenance - Students who are, or will be, in post-program maintenance (ie. have completed all formal credit hour degree requirements in the program and therefore register in GRST995AA, AB) are NOT eligible for these funds.
  • Required - Grad Thrive Plus 800AA must be completed by the end of the first semester in which a student begins their program, in order to be eligible.  Failure to complete this by the end of their first semester will require the scholarship to be discontinued.
  • Registered Full-Time - Recipients of the UR Graduate Fellowships (URGF) and UR Graduate Awards (URGA) are required to be registered full-time in the semester in which the funding is to be received and, accordingly, are required to register in no fewer than 6 credit hours of course or thesis work pertaining to their program during the corresponding semester when there are outstanding, unfulfilled requirements (i.e. thesis or course credit) in their programs.
