Do you have to renew scholarships?

Whether you have to renew a scholarship depends entirely on the scholarship itself. Some scholarships are one-time awards, meaning you receive the money once and don't need to reapply. Others are renewable, meaning you can receive the funds for multiple years (usually academic years) provided you meet certain criteria.

To find out if *your* scholarship is renewable, you must:

* Check the scholarship's original award letter or application materials: This is the primary source of information. Look for specific clauses about renewal, the conditions for renewal (e.g., maintaining a certain GPA, completing specific coursework, continued enrollment), and application deadlines for renewal.

* Contact the scholarship provider: If you can't find the information in the original materials, contact the organization or institution that awarded the scholarship. They will have the definitive answer.

In short, there's no universal answer. Always check the specific details of your scholarship.
