Anyone who is disqualified from the program may reapply the following year. CHANGE OF MAJOR If a recipient plans to change his or her major, the recipient must explain why the change is occurring and how this change will still support the Partner in a career at H-E-B. This should be done in the appropriate drop down box on the renewal form. If the recipient’s change to his or her major is not supportive of a career at H-E-B, as determined by H-E-B, then the recipient shall forfeit their scholarship award. CONDITIONS FOR TRANS FER If a recipient plans to transfer to another school, new school information must be updated on the recipient’s ISTS profile tab at https://aim.applyists.net before checks are mailed. (If a reissue of a check is needed after mailing, there is a $25 reissue fee.) Note: The newly selected school must also be an accredited institution for the scholarship to continue.

INTE RR UP TION OF STUDIES Recipients are allowed to waive their scholarship for one semester, trimester or quarter. The following situations constitute a waiver:

•

•

• •

If a recipient waives more than one semester, trimester or quarter, he or she will have to forfeit the H-E-B Scholarship and reapply in the next application period. If the recipient has already waived the scholarship and his or her studies are interrupted or delayed due to illness, accident or other extenuating circumstances, the recipient must notify ISTS immediately. Each case will be reviewed on an individual basis; however, there is no guarantee that the scholarship will be renewed. If the recipient plans to waive the scholarship for one semester, trimester or quarter, it is his or her responsibility to notify ISTS. TER MINATION OF EMPLOY ME NT H-E-B will monitor the employment history of all recipients. Scholarship recipients who have a lapse in employment for any reason other than an approved leave of absence will automatically forfeit their scholarship award.

13

It is the responsibility of the recipient to make sure that his or her leave of absence is reported properly by management. Any unusual situations (co-op, work/study, etc.) should be reported to ISTS to avoid confusion. In addition, the recipient must be employed for the entire semester, trimester or quarter to receive the scholarship. H-E-B Scholarship Plus! recipients who terminate their employment prior to the end of the semester will be expected to reimburse H-E-B. SUMMER SCHOOL H-E-B will issue payments for the fall and spring semesters only. No payments will be issued for summer school; however, any leftover funds from fall or spring can be used for summer school, but cannot be used for the new academic year. REAPPLICATION Recipients must reapply for the scholarship if: • They have held their current scholarship for the maximum number of years and will require more time to finish the bachelors or master’s degree. • They will complete their bachelors or masters during the current academic year and plan to pursue a higher degree. Note: Current recipients should reapply during the regular application period for the upcoming academic year. To reapply, follow the application process.
