GC Guarantee FAQ:
- 谁有资格获得奖学金?
- Any student who is Pell grant-eligible when they come to GC and who maintains at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA at GC will receive the GC Guarantee Scholarship.
- 转学生有资格获得GC担保吗?
- Yes, so long as they meet both the Pell eligibility requirement when they begin at GC and the GPA requirement at the end of each Fall term.
- 如果我从春季学期开始呢? 第一年我能拿到奖学金吗?
- Yes. Students who start in the Spring and are Pell grant-eligible will immediately receive the GC Guarantee on the financial aid package for the following fiscal year without regard to the GPA requirement. In subsequent years, though, they must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 .获得奖学金.
- How will I see this scholarship show up on my financial aid package?
- The scholarship will not show up during a student’s freshman year, 而是在随后的每一年的GC, a scholarship will appear that is equal to all tuition increases since the first year that the student arrived. The effect is that the cost of tuition will not increase for four years.
- 如果我四年内毕业不了怎么办?
- 所有GC奖学金只保证四年, but students can appeal to receive scholarships for an additional year. If granted, this appeal would apply to the GC Guarantee Scholarship as well.
- 什么时候GPA至少要达到2分.5 cumulative?
- All current students are packaged for the upcoming academic year during the Spring semester; therefore the cumulative GPA that will be evaluated will be at the end of the previous Fall semester. 如果学生得到2分.在秋季学期结束时累积GPA达到5分, 然后他们将获得/继续获得奖学金. 同样，如果一个学生低于2分.5 cumulative GPA at the end of the Fall semester, but then achieves at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA after the Spring or a Summer term, the student will not be eligible for the GC Guarantee Scholarship for the following fiscal aid year.
- 什么是累积绩点?
- The cumulative GPA, or Grade Point Average, is a way of quantifying how a student is doing overall at GC. Only classes taken at GC are calculated in the cumulative GPA. Very roughly, a 4.0等于A，也就是3.0 to an overall B, a 2.从0到C，再到1.0 to an overall D. A 2.累积GPA相当于BC成绩.
- 如果我的累积绩点降到2分以下怎么办.5?
- The GC Guarantee scholarship will not be applied for the following year, but no scholarship that has already been applied will be removed. In other words, if a student in her first year fails to achieve a 2.在秋季学期结束时平均绩点达到5分, then she will not receive the GC Guarantee for the second year and would need to pay any increase in tuition and fees. 如果一个三年级的学生, however, has already had the GC Guarantee Scholarship applied twice (once going into the second year, and again for the additional increase going into the third year), 然后没有达到2.在第三年的秋季学期结束时GPA达到5分, then he would not receive any additional GC Guarantee scholarship to cover any increase in tuition and fees going into his fourth year, but he would not lose the GC Guarantee scholarship that he earned in his first two years.
- What if I drop below a 2.平均成绩5分，失去奖学金，但后来成绩超过2分.5 .在随后的秋季结束时? 如果我失去了奖学金，我还能拿回奖学金吗?
- 如果学生的累计收入低于2.在某一秋季结束时平均绩点达到5分, he will not have the GC Guarantee scholarship applied for the following fiscal aid year. However, if in a subsequent fall, the student’s cumulative GPA reaches or exceeds a 2.5 again, then that student would receive a GC Guarantee scholarship equivalent to any increase in tuition and fees for the following year. The reapplied scholarship would not cover any increase that occurred while the student was not eligible to receive the scholarship. In other words, while the student’s tuition and fees would likely have gone up a bit during the time when he was not eligible to receive the scholarship, tuition and fees would then effectively “freeze” at that new rate moving forward if the student meets the GPA requirements again.
- Does the GC Guarantee cover potential increases in Room and Board (housing and food) as well?
- No. 这项奖学金是用来支付学费增长的, and therefore any increase in room and board will not be covered by this scholarship.
