How to Report GPA on Scholarship Applications

To know what option will work best, we recommend you contact the scholarship organization for their best recommendation with providing a GPA when Alverno does not offer letter grades.

OPTION 1: Student provides an official or unofficial transcript (referred to “course history”) to scholarship organization in place of GPA. Official transcripts are available for a fee through the Registrar’s Office. The official transcript includes a lead page that explains Alverno’s grading policy, then includes course history and validations. The course history is available free of charge through IOL.

OPTION 2: Student writes “N/A” or “0.0” in the field that requests GPA.

If one of the options above is not allowable, the student should contact the Registrar's Office to submit a release and obtain a GPA conversion. GPA conversions are free. They usually take about 2 weeks, or longer during breaks.

Scholarship Recommendation

The individuals who you ask to write you a recommendation letter for an internal or institutional scholarship (including faculty/staff) have the option to provide a traditional letter of ‌recommendation or use the ‌Internal Scholarship Recommendation Form

NOTE: This form is only accepted for internal scholarships.
