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!
We helped over 4 million students find scholarships in 2023
We've spent over 4,000 hours reviewing 3,000 scholarship programs
