Cancellation or modification of an athletic scholarship during the period of its effectiveness is allowed for the following reasons only:
- If the athlete becomes ineligible for participation in athletics because of academic and/or disciplinary reasons.
- For misconduct (unrelated to athletic ability) found by the person or body in charge of general discipline at the institution.
- If the student-athlete voluntarily withdraws from a sport prior to the institution’s first competition in that sport.
- Graduation
Colleges may also include attachments to the NJCAA Letter of Intent which stipulates conditions for the cancellation of an athletic scholarship that are more stringent than those listed above.
