“I work in university admissions. We are not supposed to advertise that at our school, we can raise the amount of money students get in scholarships if their final transcript shows a higher GPA than the one they submitted at the time of acceptance. It would make the business less money if we were to publicly advertise it through our communications.”
“We don’t compare final GPAs to GPAs at the time of acceptance (which, on the bright side, allows students who have a dip in their GPA not to lose their scholarships), so we don’t keep track of increases, either. It’s a shame because these students work hard and could get an even bigger scholarship, but they don’t know it. However, I tell every student about it when they ask about scholarships, even if they aren’t specifically asking about a raise. I’d rather be bad for the business than bad for the students.”
