Did you know there are many scholarships out there for students with a low GPA? Although it’s true that some scholarships do have high GPA requirements, many take a more holistic look at students and do not rely too heavily on GPA. Others consider financial need more than academic performance, and they understand high-need students often do not have the tools to achieve a high GPA in school.

The scholarships on this list have minimum GPAs ranging between 1.0 and 2.8. We’ve included low GPA scholarships for high school students, college students, and graduate students, and they are available for students of all academic interest. Scroll down to find low GPA scholarships that are a great fit for you!

Scholarship Review Process

The Scholarships360 Research Team reviews all scholarships individually and strives to exclude any scholarship where any of the below applies:

  • The scholarship requires a fee to apply
  • The scholarship provider’s privacy policy allows for the misuse of student data
  • The scholarship requires paid membership in an organization (with certain exceptions for reputable trade organizations and others)
  • Student are required to sign up for a site or service to apply*
  • The scholarship seems primarily used for lead generation** or idea harvesting purposes***
  • The scholarship website has many grammatical errors and/or advertisements
  • The scholarship or scholarship providing organization seem untrustworthy
  • There is no evidence the scholarship was previously awarded
  • The scholarship has not been awarded in the past 12 months
  • There is no available contact information

If you believe a scholarship has been published in error, please reach out to [email protected] and we’ll take a look!


* There are certain exceptions to this, for example if the sponsoring organization is a major corporation or nonprofit with its own scholarship application system.
** Lead generation scholarships will require students to sign up for an app or website and require minimal (if any) application requirements.
***Idea harvesting scholarships will require students to submit blog posts or other materials that companies may use for marketing purposes.
