    Interesting concept. I think that more closely tying scholarship numbers to GPA and graduate would make a great deal of sense. I would also like to see the standards tied more closely to the school-wide GPA and graduation rate. Some schools are designed for academic excellence and others are designed to provide access to higher education for specific communities.
