<p>Sometimes schools will increase your scholarship money if you can score slightly higher on the ACT or SAT, even if it's between graduation and the start of college. One school told my son that one point on the ACT was worth $2,000 more per year. He took the ACT again this month and got that extra point. Call your school and ask.</p>
<p>Often there is a chart. A student with a 3.3 gpa, and a 1800 sat score might have hit the maximum of whatever merit aid they might get, because their gpa is still a 3.3 (although by senior year it might increase a bit a well). A SAT score that increased to 1950 might not give them more money if gpa is similar. Each school is different, so you really do need to ask.</p>
<p>Yes my daughter did this. She retook the ACT last June after graduating in May. That extra point netted her almost $4000 a year in extra scholarship money. Her school did have a list of scholarships and the required scores.</p>
<p>Thanks for the information - that could be very helpful.</p>
