Trial Program Will Pay for Good Grades
Posted/updated on: April 1, 2016 at 9:35 amTYLER — Good grades can soon mean more money for students living on campus at Tyler Junior College. According to KETK, residential Life and Housing is rolling out a new trial program to reward students with a GPA of 2.0 or better. They will multiply the GPA by $100, giving students the chance to get up to $400 for a 4.0 GPA. Many students are excited for the opportunity. Some say it will also encourage good behavior. Others think it should not be limited to residential students. The program is launching as a trial phase and will work with students who have already paid tuition to also get them credit.
