<p>Hi! When is the last ACT score you can submit for scholorship money? My son is wanting the “full tuition 32.”</p>

2

<p>the deadline for the scholarship is on december,
so i think u should be fine if your son sends the score now.
You can also contact Edwina Crawford of tge admission office for detailed information</p>

<p>From the UA website:</p>

<p>The national December ACT and the national December SAT are the last college entrance examination results accepted for students who want scholarship consideration.</p>

<p>paul2752 you have been giving lots of advise on various forums and I guess I’m questioning if you should be. How would 3dogs3kids be fine sending in a score now? It’s obvious he doesn’t have a 32 yet. Also you are chancing lots of people, which you are entitled to do, but I question if you are giving good advise. Most posters have intimate knowledge of schools they comment on and they are not just randomly going on sites to find out the averages and posting info OP could have found themselves. Perhaps your time could be spent more productively before your Spring enrollment at UA.</p>

<p>Have your son take the SAT as well. They’re on different weekends. He’ll only have to study 2 sections…math and CR. And if the SR section on the ACT is bringing his score down, then he’ll be happy that the SAT doesn’t have that.</p>

<p>and I can’t spell advice tonight</p>

<p>@mom2collegekids‌ do you know the requirements for the SAT to get the full tuition? Thank you for your advice!</p>

<p>A 1400 on the Math + Critical Reading is needed to get full tuition.</p>
