What must be done to continue to receive the scholarship? Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale) and must present their grades for the previous semester and their schedule for the following semester before the next disbursement date in order to continue to receive the next deposit of scholarship funds. What if students forget to give their grades for a previous semester? Students will not receive any further disbursements until grades from the previous semester are received at CNB of Texas and verified that a 2.0 GPA has been maintained. After verification, funds will be deposited into a student's account. Does the application need to be typed or can it be handwritten?
