G.P.A. and College Credit
To become a full CCF fellow, you must have completed at least 12 college credits and have a cumulative grade point average of 2.50 or the equivalent of a C+ average (on the undergraduate level) or 3.0 or the equivalent of a B (on the graduate level). CCF fellows must maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of 2.50 (for undergraduate) or 3.0 (for graduate) for the duration of their degree program in order to receive ongoing financial assistance
Community Participation
CCF organizes and hosts a number of events and ongoing activities throughout the academic year, including four community meetings per semester. As a full CCF student, you must attend one community meeting per semester (we encourage attendance at all meetings). CCF fellows are also required to attend CCF's annual graduation ceremony.
Meeting with the Academic Counselor
Fellows must meet with the academic counselor each semester to discuss their status. It is to the fellows benefit to make contact in a timely fashion. Failure to do so may delay financial assistance.
