Assistant Director or designee;
- your consistent participation in the Board of Governors Scholars Program (including any courses
assigned as part of the BOG Scholars Program), attendance at mandatory meetings and completion of
all assignments contained in said program’s syllabus (extensions and/or exemptions from BOG
assignments must be requested in writing from the Assistant Director or designee and
- your completion of a minimum of 15 hours of community service for a full scholarship and 7.5 for a
half scholarship per semester (i.e., work that is done on a volunteer basis and from which there is no
pay).

completion of a degree, he/she must earn a minimum of 24 undergraduate credit hours in any given 12-month period
