HOW TO MAINTAIN THIS SCHOLARSHIP:
Once the Mosaic Leadership Scholarship is awarded, it is renewable based on the following (besides the general OCC policies to renew scholarships):

  • The student is not placed on disciplinary probation. Such action will result in the forfeiture of the scholarship in a succeeding semester. It may be reinstated once the disciplinary probation is resolved
  • The student remains in compliance with the college catalog and all other student guidelines of the college
  • The student meets once a month for the entirety of your college career with the Director of Multicultural Affairs
  • The student is willing their third year of study to be a leader on campus in student life (e.g., resident assistant, class representative, life group leader, etc.)

All OCC Scholarships (with the exception of the OCC Grant Fund) are renewed based on the following: 

  • Student must maintain a full-time enrolled status (12 credit hours or more). Exceptions for students participating in our dual degree program may be made. Check with Student Financial Services for specifics. 
  • A minimum cumulative Ozark GPA of 2.0 is required each academic year unless otherwise required.
  • Scholarships are renewed by academic year. If a student loses the scholarship at the end of an academic year, it may be renewed following the completion of the next academic year by reaching a 2.0 cumulative GPA. 
  • All scholarships may be renewed for up to four years, unless the degree program is five years (e.g., Bachelor of Theology or dual degree program).
