§ 6-85-221. Scholarship hold.

The Division of Higher Education may approve a scholarship hold for a traditional student for a period of twenty-four (24) months or less. The reasons for a scholarship hold may include without limitation: A medical condition of the student or a member of the student's immediate family that, on the basis of a physician's good-faith judgment, necessitates the student or the student's immediate family member to be hospitalized or receive outpatient or home-based medical care or to recuperate until released by the attending physician; A personal or family emergency that requires the student to: Attend the funeral of an immediate family member; or Visit a relative of the student if the relative has a medical condition in which death is possible or imminent; Military service under § 6-61-112; or A commitment of twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) months for service in a national or international humanitarian project sponsored by a nonprofit corporation organized with a charitable or educational purpose. The student's commitment shall be expressed in a written agreement with the nonprofit organization including the terms of completion for the student's service on the related project. The division shall release a scholarship hold if the division determines that the student did not complete the commitment under the written agreement.
