# DOE CCI Summer 2027: application dates, eligibility and materials

## A GPA statement cannot supply missing credits

CCI states a 2.7 GPA minimum, requires a waiver statement below 3.0 and separately requires completed coursework. These invented cases isolate those academic checks; other eligibility conditions are not assessed.

### Three different application problems

| Applicant | Record | Next action |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A | 2.85 GPA; completed term; 6 qualifying STEM and 12 total qualifying credits | Prepare the required GPA statement |
| B | 3.20 GPA; completed term; only 4 qualifying STEM credits | Check the completed-credit requirement; a GPA statement does not fix it |
| C | 2.60 GPA; sufficient completed credits | Does not meet the stated GPA minimum on these facts |

## Your turn

Applicant A writes, 'My GPA is above 2.7, so no additional explanation is needed.' What is missing?

## Your answer

## For your own application

Separate eligibility conditions from extra materials triggered by your circumstances.
