b) Enrolled no less than 12 credit hours.
c) Minimum GPA of 3.0. For incoming first-year students, if a GPA at City Colleges of Chicago is not established, a high school GPA can be used.
d) In good academic standing at City Colleges of Chicago.
e) Scholarships are last-dollar, non-refundable and may only be used towards tuition, books, and fees.
f) A student recipient is eligible for the scholarship support for up to two consecutive academic years at City Colleges of Chicago provided they continue to meet the established criteria above.

Students that complete their Engineering pathway associate degree at City Colleges of Chicago may be eligible for additional Greer Foundation Transfer Scholarship funds at Illinois Institute of Technology, University of Illinois-Chicago or University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Eligibility of students that transfer to other institutions that offer engineering degrees will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The award amount at the transfer institution is $5,000 per year.
