An academic misconduct case can definitely result in the loss of a scholarship and potentially financial aid. It will depend on the severity of the academic misconduct allegation if a person were to be found responsible in terms of whether a scholarship could be impacted by that, but it's certainly a disciplinary infraction, be it academic or otherwise, certainly could take a scholarship off the table especially if it's, say, an academic scholarship. Financial aid could also be potentially impacted especially in cases where if a student were to be found responsible and there would be a separation from their studies due to, say, a suspension for example. There is a lot at stake in an academic misconduct case. It's important that you take the necessary precautions, you don't rush into the process or do things without taking the necessary steps forward. An experienced attorney advisor would be able to help best navigate the process and can help you work towards achieving a favorable outcome.
