(5) Receive a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.0, or the equivalent, for the last academic term of attendance at a participating institution to receive the scholarship for the next academic term of attendance.

- (b) The grade point requirement applies only to enrollment at participating institutions, as defined in WAC 250-85-100.
