Scholarship Eligibility Calculator
The Scholarship Eligibility Calculator helps students estimate whether they qualify for scholarships based on academic requirements such as GPA, completed credit hours, and enrollment status.
Weighted GPA calculation for eligibility can be expressed as:
\( \text{Weighted GPA} = \frac{\sum (\text{Course GPA} \times \text{Credits})}{\text{Total Credits}} \)
Understanding the Concept: How Does It Work?
- Minimum GPA (e.g., 3.0 or 3.5)
- Required number of completed credit hours
- Full-time or part-time enrollment
- Performance within a specific major or subject
- Extracurricular activities or community service (optional)
The calculator compares your current academic record with the scholarship’s requirements. For example, if a scholarship requires a 3.5 GPA and 12 credit hours per semester, the calculator evaluates your GPA and credit load.
Example Calculation
Scenario:
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum GPA | 3.5 |
| Completed Credits | 30 |
| Student GPA | 3.4 |

Result: The student is currently ineligible but can meet requirements by improving GPA and completing 2 more credits.
