Can anyone tell me about scholarships based on ACT Scores? (from Louisiana)

My son wants to attend and trying to learn about scholarships. He will be an out of state student. I am assuming scholarships are based scores. At what score does a partial scholarship offer and where does full ride start?

Can you point me in a direction where I can find this info and or if there is a website that list all schools and scores?

I don’t believe JHU offers merit scholarships. Need based only. Check their website to confirm. Also, out of state generally has no meaning except at public universities.

If he is interested in merit scholarships we will likely have to look at slightly lower tier schools though a few very prestigious schools still offer merit. It is almost never stats-based (at least not published that way.) Plenty of very good schools offer merit, but very very few full rides. The ones I’ve looked at are based on stats, leadership, talent, and often interviews. You can find out everything you need on each schools’ admission pages.

Thanks for the info. Just started looking at this today.

I think the recently established Clark Scholars for Engineering is the (only?) merit scholarship at Johns Hopkins. There is the Banneker/Key Scholarship (merit for all disciplines) at Maryland’s public flagship, University of Maryland, College Park. If I am not mistaken, neither scholarship requires additional application, nor standardized test scores.
