The minimum GPA standard (Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) or Combined Grade Point Average (CBGPA)) for both new and continuing students required to automatically retain their Admission or Merit-based Scholarship from the previous assessment period will be a CGPA or CBGPA of at least 3.60.

Students who are unable to maintain their Admission or Merit-based Scholarship in a previous assessment period or seeking an award increase based upon earning a higher CGPA or CBGPA may be eligible for a Merit-based Scholarship following the Scholarship Bracket below:
CGPA or CBGPA (Higher of Two) Scholarship Percentage
4.5 100%
4.25 – 4.49 70%

Students are admitted to SolBridge with the understanding that they or their families will have the continuing financial resources to complete their degree programs. Recognizing that unanticipated short-term financial emergencies may arise during the course of their studies, a Need-based Award has been established.

Only students with short-term or unanticipated financial emergencies during the past six months; and who are not qualified for other scholarships, are eligible to apply. Students may apply for a Need-based Award any time during the year when a special circumstance arises.

To qualify, MBA and Masters applicants must earn at least a 3.20 CGPA or CBGPA, whichever is higher in their most recently completed assessment period.

The applicant must explain and document in detail the reason(s) for their inability to meet their SolBridge financial obligations in the forthcoming assessment period. Awards will be limited to a maximum of 30% and apply only to the forthcoming assessment period. Consecutive awards will not be granted. MBA and Masters students are limited to one award during their program.
To assist with the financial obligation for parents of existing SolBridge students, SolBridge provides the Family Scholarship. When a fully registered student of SolBridge has a sibling (brother or sister, immediate family only) who will attend SolBridge, the sibling will be awarded a 20% scholarship tuition fee. This scholarship is available on admission and can be maintained while both siblings are attending SolBridge.

This scholarship is automatically provided on evidence of the sibling relationship.
For MBA and Masters students, family Scholarships are valid for one semester. Once this period expires, students can maintain their initial scholarships by earning a GPA of 3.6/4.5 or higher.
