Online Learning Merit Scholarship Guidelines

  • Upon acceptance to Ozark, merit scholarships are automatically awarded based upon the student’s cumulative college GPA (transfers) or final unweighted high school GPA (first-time freshmen).
  • The full value of the scholarship will be split equally between all five modules each year, only for modules that are attended.
  • The scholarship will be applied during the modules enrolled regardless of the number of hours enrolled for up to four years. 
  • Students can receive only one merit scholarship (not stackable with other merit scholarships from Ozark).
  • Students must maintain a cumulative Ozark GPA of 2.0 to renew their merit scholarship each academic year. If they fall below a 2.0 GPA, the scholarship can be renewed following the completion of the next academic year by reaching the 2.0 cumulative GPA. 
  • Students that do not enroll in any coursework during a full academic year will not be eligible for scholarship renewal for any future years.

State Authorization

The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) is a national initiative to provide more access to online courses while maintaining compliance standards with state regulatory agencies. SARA establishes a state-level reciprocity process that will support the nation in efforts to increase the educational attainment of its people by making state authorization:

  • More efficient, effective and uniform in regard to necessary and reasonable standards of practice that could span states;
  • More effective in dealing with quality and integrity issues that have arisen in some online/distance education offerings; and
  • Less costly for states and institutions and, thereby, the students they serve.

Ozark Christian College is authorized to offer distance education (either through SARA or by state exemption status) in all 50 states.
