Gold award teams earn at least a 3.75 GPA, while silver award teams score 3.5-3.749 GPA. The bronze award ranking is for teams whose GPA falls between 3.2 and 3.499.

Looking at the girls 2015-2916 scholar teams it appears J.H. Rose in Greenville, NC had the highest GPA with 3.991 and not T.C. Roberson in Asheville, NC.
