Funding to dry up for students with low GPA

The Student Loan Fund (SLF) board has said that existing debtors with a grade point average (GPA) of 1.75 will be eligible for loans for only one more year, permanent secretary for Education Suthasri Wongsamarn revealed yesterday.

At a meeting last month, the board suggested that only students with at least GPA 2.0 be eligible for the loan, she said, adding that this will give students an incentive to keep their grades up so they can continue getting loans.
