Your GPA is your scholarship.
A first-of-its-kind merit model: your end-of-term grade point average automatically sets the discount on your tuition. Study hard, earn free — and let your future fund itself.
Traditional universities lock scholarships to the grades you had in high school. Competency schools charge a flat fee no matter how well you do. AGTU is the only model that recalculates your GPA-based scholarship every TERM based on the work you just completed — a continuous, transparent incentive to excel.
Drag the slider to a target GPA and watch your scholarship — and your out-of-pocket cost per TERM — update instantly.
Illustrative — based on a $450 per-TERM assessment fee. Actual fees vary by program level.
A continuous, granular scale with no "cliff effects." Every 0.2 GPA points moves your scholarship by 5–10%, so improvement always pays off.

A GPA-based scholarship is financial aid tied directly to your grades. At AGTU, your grade point average (GPA) — a 0 to 4.0 score that measures how well you did — automatically determines a percentage discount on your tuition. The higher your GPA, the bigger your scholarship.
GPA stands for Grade Point Average. Your letter grades (A, B, C…) are converted to points on a 4.0 scale and averaged. A 4.0 means straight A's; a 2.0 is roughly a C average. With AGTU's GPA-based scholarship, those points turn directly into savings.
It ranges from 50% off at a 2.4 (C-) all the way to 100% — completely free — at a perfect 4.0. The full, published scale is on this page so you always know exactly what each grade is worth before you enroll.
No application and no competition. Unlike traditional scholarships you must win, the AGTU GPA-based scholarship is automatic and open to every student. You simply earn it through your own performance each TERM.
You need a minimum GPA of 2.4 (a C-) to unlock a 50% scholarship. Below that, standard pricing applies. From 2.4 upward, every improvement in your grades increases your discount.
Your GPA-based scholarship is recalculated each TERM based on your most recent work. That means a strong TERM is always rewarded, and you get a fresh opportunity to earn a bigger discount every time.
Yes. The model applies across all AGTU degrees — Associate, Bachelor's, MBA and Master's. Browse them on the Programs page.
