Use Senior year to boost GPA for scholarship?

<p>Hey! Currently I have a 3.325 unweighted and 3.4 weighted. I want to apply to CSU (colorado state university). They have a scholarship that gives $5k a year with a minimum GPA of 3.4.</p>

<p>My question is, if I get all A's senior year first semester(which I can do), and get a 3.4 GPA, will this make me eligible for the scholarship? </p>

<p>I am unsure of application dates for scholarships, and application dates in general, so I don't know if they look at GPA after Junior year or what.

SHORT VERISON: Will senior year grades count toward my GPA for scholarships? Thanks</p>

<p>That is something only the school can tell you for sure.</p>

<p>It is certainly possible. My daughter had a partial tuition scholarship offer from her school based on her ACT. The next scholarship up was much more generous (full tuition waiver plus a cash scholarship) but required a higher ACT. She retook her ACT 2 weeks after she graduated high school and got the required 32 and they bumped her up to the higher scholarship. But that was their policy - your school may differ. Check with them.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>It also depends on the scholarship. Some are so loosely worded that you can use selected semesters for the GPA, others strictly define the GPA. When the assessments are completed for the awards can make a difference. I remember some kids getting awards when they bombed senior year. Other awards can have a cut off of junior year for getting the award and require a final transcript before giving out the money to make sure that does not happen and if grades drop below a certain point, then the person will not get the award. THe deadlines for the materials and the rules for what parameters are in place are what determine all of this.</p>
