  (*) Requirements for converting the Grade Point Average to the "JASSO scale."
         Students hoping to be nominated for the JASSO scholarship must have a Grade Point Average (GPA) that is at least 2.30 out of 3.00 for the previous academic year. If applicants do not have grades for the previous academic year, they must submit their grades for the previous semester.

 (Calculation Formula)
[(number of GPA "3"credits ｘ3)+(number of GPA "2"credits ｘ2)+(number of GPA "1"credits ｘ1)+(number of GPA "0"credits ｘ0)] / Total number of credits
