<p>I need to pull my ACT up to 30. I need at least a 29 for Bright Futures anyway. I have a 28 now. I can definitely get it to a 30 by the end of senior year.</p>
<p>My weighted GPA is 4.1. That will go nowhere but up.</p>
<p>Using NCF’s calculator (<a href=“http://www.ncf.edu/fl-freshmen-scholarships”>http://www.ncf.edu/fl-freshmen-scholarships</a>) with the following info:</p>
<p>GPA: 4.1
ACT: 30 (SAT 1340)</p>
<p>This yields the $2,500 award at NCF.</p>
<hr>
<p>Loan: $5,500
Bright Futures: $3,000
NCF Scholarship: $2,500</p>
<p>Total: $11,000.</p>
<hr>
<p>Puts me about $2,000-3,000 short of affording New College. I can easily make up for this amount between other scholarships and working over the summer. If by some miracle I’m still $1,000 or so short, my parents will cover the rest.</p>
