Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
For Graduate Students
Undergraduate Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) need not be identified if the student has completed 15 or more graduate hours and is
pursuing a graduate degree. If the student has not achieved 15 hours of graduate credit, identify CGPA and credit hours for all undergraduate
hours and if applicable, CGPA on credit hours for all graduate academic courses completed.
For Undergraduate Students
CGPA must be computed on all post-secondary academic courses taken within past 10 years. It should not be computed only on academic
courses accepted as satisfying the requirements of the degree for which the applicant is requesting a scholarship.

program for which the scholarship is being requested.
