College Scholarship Application GPA?

Posted by admin on 24th November and posted in scholarships

So I am applying for a few scholarships a little early. I am currently a Junior in High School. And filling out information so I can get recommended scholarship that I can apply for. It asks for my GPA and I don’t know if I should include my current GPA or my GPA from last year as a sophomore… any recommendations?

What do you mean "current"? . . . What you think you’re getting now? . . . from some progress report?

Put in your cumulative GPA. This includes all official HS grades. Freshman year and sophmore year combined.

It does not include your progress report grades, only official semester grades. Of which you have none from your Junior year yet.

    You always put your current GPA unless the application asks for a certain time frame.

    Edit: To "A"
    Your GPA can change each semester based on your grades. That’s what I was referring too. Just because the person had a certain GPA last year, doesn’t mean it will be the same this year.
    Also, the GPA can also be divided up into individual semesters or quarters. At least that’s one of the ways my school calculated it.

    I recommend you entering the closest thing you have on your GPA. A is a 4.0. B is a 3.0. A C is a 2.0. A D is worth 1.0. If you know your average in each class, all you do is enter the value of each average equivalent and divide by the number of classes. For example, you had a B (3.0), an A (4.0), a C (2.0) and a B (3.0). It would add up to 12.0. You would divide it by 4, and it would equal an unweighted 3.0 GPA.
