What is the minimum course load for a student on the AES Scholarship?

• A. 18 Hours
• B. 15 Hours
• C. 12 Hours
• D. 9 Hours

Answer: (B)

The thing being tested is what enrollment level keeps you eligible for an AES Scholarship. For this award, you must take at least fifteen credit hours each term. This minimum ensures you’re a full-time student and progressing toward your degree while receiving the scholarship funds. If you drop below fifteen, you’d fall short of the scholarship’s required enrollment for that term and could risk losing the aid (unless you meet reinstatement or appeals later). Taking more than fifteen, like eighteen, still satisfies the requirement, but fifteen is the exact threshold the scholarship uses to define minimum eligibility. Credits well below that, such as twelve or nine, would not meet the minimum.
