Savings after high school
From semester results to college savings
A strong semester earns GRADE. After graduation, those rewards lower college costs: each GRADE gives you a $100 discount.
How it works
1 GRADE gives you a $100 discount on college.
| Grades | GRADE earned | College savings |
|---|---|---|
| Two A's in standard courses | 2 | $200 |
| An A in an AP course | 1.25 | $125 |
| An A in an Honors course | 1.125 | $112.50 |
| One semester | 4.375 | $437.50 |
| Ten semesters at this level | 43.75 | $4,375 |
2 + 1.25 + 1.125 = 4.375 GRADE for the semester. Each GRADE takes $100 off college costs, so that's $437.50 in savings for the semester.
4.375 × 10 = 43.75 GRADE. Over ten semesters, that's $4,375 less to pay for college.
