The CNMI Scholarship Advisory Board is seeking public comments on the proposed regulations governing the CNMI Scholarship Educational Assistance Program, effective for the fall 2012 semester.
These amendments have been duly promulgated and comments are being accepted by the SAB prior to adoption as permanent. These proposed amendments affect new, ongoing, and returning students in several ways, and include:
1. Limit scholarship assistance for new undergraduate applicants to those who are enrolled at the Northern Marianas College or have already obtained an associate’s degree and are enrolled at an accredited institution;
2. Enables scholarship assistance for participants in NMC’s Early Admissions Program;
3. Increase the minimum CGPA for satisfactory academic progress from 2.25 to 2.75;
4. Authorizes the scholarship advisory board, in its discretion, to extend the duration of an award.
Interested persons may request a copy of the proposed regulation via e-mail cnmisab@cnmischolarship.com and/or visit the CNMI Scholarship website at www.cnmicholarship.com.
Comments must be received by the board no later than March 30, 2012. You may submit your comments to the CNMI Scholarship Office via regular mail, drop off, fax, or e-mail.
