Financial Aid/Scholarships for 32 ACT?

Paying for College
1

<p>What sort of financial aid or scholarships am I looking at with a 32 ACT and a 4.0 GPA? I know there are more factors than those two, and I'll most likely try for a higher ACT score, but I'm still curious. Information about guaranteed aid or other aid would be great.</p>

<p>Apply to University of South Carolina AND complete their honors college/scholarship application by December 1 (check to see what the due date if for this upcoming admissions round). With a 32 ACT and your GPA from high school, you could be in contention for a McNair Scholarship (full ride plus laptop), Cooper Scholarship ($4000 a year BUT you also get the in state tuition rate) or the McKissick Scholarship ($2000 year with the instate tuition rate).</p>

<p>Do you mean need based aid, merit aid or both?</p>

<p>Redroses - more merit aid than need based, but I don’t mind any kind of information.</p>

<p>Erin’s Dad - thanks, that looks really helpful.</p>

<p>Blue pen…</p>

<p>The link above will bring you to **assured **scholarships for stats. Those schools are good to apply to for financial match and safety schools because if you have the stats, you get the scholarship. </p>

<p>For instance with your stats, Bama would give you free tuition - even as an OOS student. And…If you major in engineering or computer science, the College of Engineering will give you an additional $2500 per year…</p>

<p>Other schools have competitive merit. Those are also ok to apply to, but you can’t count of winning one.</p>
