Student Loans & GPA Scores

Students nowadays tend to rely heavily on student loans to pay for their college education. Although this many not sound like such a big deal, there is always the rules and regulations to having and getting student loans. These rules and regulations often depend on grades and financial issues. People always ask, how is it determined who gets student loans and who doesn’t. I believe that students should have to maintain a certain GPA to get student loans.

I do not currently nor have I ever had student loans, but the lady that I babysit for uses them and she is always telling me how she needs to keep her GPA up so that she can continue to get her student loans and continue to get her college education. I think that having to maintain a certain GPA is important because it encourages students to do well in school. Also I believe that the incentive to keep ones grades up makes it easier to pass classes and to gain your degree fasted.

Almost everyone has an “off” semester. Yet student loans should be based on ones accumulative GPA, not their GPA from one semester. In many cases this could seem unfair, such as when you have a freshman applying for student loans how would you justifiable make the dissension on wither they get or don’t get the loan? In this case i would say take the individuals overall GPA from high school. This many seem unfair, but how else is there to make the dissension on wither a freshman in college should get the loan or not.

GPA scores should be based on an average of 100 students in a college with a mixture of grades, 50-50 ratio from both ends of the grade scale. In this sense it should make GPA requirements for students applying to get the loans reasonable and able to be accomplished by any student. Student loans should have to be worked for and not just handed over to just anyone.

Student loans are a privilege, and not a right. You should have to work for them if you really want them. This can help teach you real life skills that will be helpful for the rest of your life. If one goes through their life thinking that things should just be handed to them without having to put effort towards it, they will never go anywhere.
