 Student must be registered in DEERS (Defense Eligibility Enrollment Reporting System).

 Student must not be a member of the National Guard, Reserves, or other military branch
 Student must be enrolled, accepted, or pending acceptance as a full-time student in an accredited post-secondary
or vocational institution listed in the US Department of Education’s Database of Accredited Postsecondary
Institutions (http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/Search.aspx). Because financial need is already met, students
attending Service Academies are not eligible.
 Student must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.
 Student may not already be fully funded by other sources. Any MG James Ursano Scholarship recipient who also
receives funding from other sources (i.e. GI Bill, scholarships, VA benefits, etc.) may not be eligible to receive
their full scholarship from AER. No student can receive funding above the school’s established Cost of
Attendance – once all costs are covered, the school must return any remaining funds to AER. The Financial Aid
Office at each school will determine the recipient’s final eligibility based on the student’s complete
financial aid package.
