GPA Requirements
Can I use a weighted GPA to qualify for the SD Opportunity Scholarship? If my school only has a weighted GPA on my transcript, how is my application handled?
The SD Opportunity Scholarship requires that GPA must be calculated on a 4.0 scale – any weighted scores, bonus points, and scores above 4.0 are not considered on a 4.0 scale. If your transcript does not include an UNWEIGHTED GPA, please reach out to your high school to get this included.
Any weighted GPAs on the SD Opportunity Scholarship application may be recalculated based on the scale below.
