PL/SQL how to loop thru SQL statement?

Question

Hey guys. I have this bit of a complicated problem.
I have a cursor that selects a DISTINCT field called Term and a StudentID.
I am looping thru that cursor.
Inside that loop I have another SQL statement that is pulling all rows from the DB where the Term = the Term and the StudentID= the StudentID from the crusor loop.
My problem is how do I get all the information/rows returned from that SQL statement? I need to loop thru it somehow, but I am not sure how to do it.
If there is a better way to get this done feel free to chime in.
Here is my code.
/* CURSOR*/
CURSOR c_GPAPerTerm IS
        SELECT DISTINCT Term, Student_ID FROM course_grades
        WHERE STUDENT_ID = p_StudentID;
             /* OPEN AND LOOP THRU CURSOR*/
    OPEN c_GPAPerTerm;
    LOOP
    FETCH c_GPAPerTerm INTO v_Terms,v_StudentID;
            /* SQL STATEMENT NEED TO LOOP THRU AND GET VALUES FOR EACH ROW*/
            SELECT Score
            INTO v_Scores
            FROM course_grades
            WHERE Term = v_Terms and StudentID = v_StudentID;
    EXIT WHEN c_GPAPerTerm%NOTFOUND;
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE c_GPAPerTerm;

Ok here's my complete code....it's pretty big though...hope it's not too confusing.
It compiles fine if I take the new cursor out, so the error is somewhere in that cursor.
