GPA Calculation for JASSO Scholarship Eligibility
The recipient of JASSO scholarships must have a G.P.A. (Grade Point Average) of 2.3 or higher in one of the following evaluation scales. If the academic evaluation of the nominated student cannot be indicated in any of these evaluation scales, the home university must produce a letter or document to certify that the student has an outstanding academic record and to explain why his/her academic result is equivalent to a G.P.A. of 2.3 or higher.
<How to Calculate Grade Point Average>
The academic result of each course taken must be applied to one of the following evaluation scales and the G.P.A calculated according to the formula:
