Can my G.P.A. get me financial aid for school?
I've always been a good student. All A's most of the time. I have a 4.0/4.0 G.P.A and I want to go to college. I am in concert choir, showchoir, and marching band and am working on finding a part time job as I will have to pay for most of my schooling myself. With that being said I really need financial aid and am wondering if my G.P.A can equal money towards college?

Basically, it's not a guarantee, but it is a great asset for earning financial aid.

A good GPA can help you get a scholarship. It is often a consideration in scholarships. Just do not focus on that one element. Make sure that you look for a wide variety of scholarships, not just academic excellence scholarships. There are scholarships where the focus is more on other characteristics that you have. I would check on everything from scholarships that you can earn in some way, like writing an essay, writing a story, or interview for a scholarship. There are organizations who give out scholarships based on being in a protected class, like being Hispanic. I would also check if your family members have scholarships for family members as my company has. My company gives out scholarships based on many things. I am attaching some links below.

you May also want to check with your school’s financial aid department to see if it offers any type of aid, scholarships, grants, etc. as well as whether the school’s alumni or other non-profit group provides academic scholarship.
