How to Compute Your GWA for DOST
Maintaining a scholarship with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) requires consistent monitoring of your General Weighted Average (GWA). Under DOST-SEI guidelines, scholars must keep a minimum GWA per term.
Exclusions to Keep in Mind
When calculating GWA for your scholarship standing, do not include non-academic subjects on your list. Physical Education (PE) and National Service Training Program (NSTP) checked courses must be excluded from calculations.
Calculations Step-by-Step
- Exclude non-academic credits (PE, NSTP).
- Multiply each academic grade by its corresponding unit value.
- Sum all the products to find the total grade points.
- Divide the total grade points by the total academic units.
