Can a DUI Affect College Financial Aid or Scholarships?

A DUI arrest can affect more than court outcomes. For students relying on scholarships or financial aid, the consequences can extend into education funding and enrollment status.

Criminal Records and Aid Eligibility

Some scholarships and programs impose conduct requirements. While a DUI does not automatically revoke aid, disclosure obligations and school policies matter.

University Disciplinary Action

Schools may impose separate sanctions, even when criminal cases are pending or unresolved.

Protecting Academic Futures

Early legal strategy can help minimize collateral damage and coordinate responses across systems. Don't wait, speak to a DUI Attorney immediately if you have been charged with a DUI offense while on scholarship.
