The Scholarship GPA Calculator computes a weighted GPA and shows whether it meets a selected scholarship threshold. It is designed for students who need to combine courses with different credit values rather than using a simple average of letter grades.
Enter the grade points and credits for up to four courses. The calculator weights each course by its credit value, then compares the result with the minimum GPA entered for the scholarship.
Use the grade-point values required by the institution, such as 4.0 for an A on a 4.0 scale.
Add the numeric grade points earned for each included course.
Use attempted or earned credits according to the scholarship rules.
Enter the published scholarship threshold on the same scale.
Check the weighted GPA and whether it meets the entered minimum.
Quality points = Σ(Grade points × Course credits)
Weighted GPA = Total quality points ÷ Total credits
Only courses with credits greater than zero affect the result. Every grade-point entry must use the same grading scale.
The weighted GPA reflects both the grade earned and the credit weight of each included course.
Scholarship programs may apply their own rules for repeats, withdrawals, pass/fail courses, or institutional versus cumulative GPA.
Given: Four courses: 3.7×3 credits, 4.0×4, 3.3×3, and 3.8×2.
Calculation: Quality points = 11.1 + 16 + 9.9 + 7.6 = 44.6. Total credits = 12. GPA = 44.6 ÷ 12 = 3.717.
Result: A 3.717 GPA meets a 3.50 scholarship threshold.
Convert each letter grade to the numeric grade-point value used by your school before entering it.
Follow the scholarship and school policy. Some replace the earlier grade, while others count both attempts.
No. A zero-credit course contributes neither credits nor quality points.
A simple average treats every course equally. A weighted GPA gives more influence to courses carrying more credits.
No. GPA is often only one eligibility condition, and programs may also consider enrollment, deadlines, residency, or other criteria.
