- Grade: To qualify for a full or partial academic scholarship, you should belong to the upper 10% of the graduating class or scored very high in the entrance exam of the school. Scholarships typically support students who have a certain grade point average, and it is usually 85% or above. Your grades are an indicator of your academic ability. Scholarship providers want to be sure that they are supporting a scholar who will be successful through their education.
One quiz does not determine the final grade. Repeat until end of sem.
