Question about scholarships based on SAT / ACT scores

Paying for College
1

<p>Which national colleges ranked within the top 100 by US News Review offer full tuition for ACT scores above 32 or SAT ( Reading + Math only ) scores above 1400?</p>

<p>I know Alabama does. Not many within the top 100 do. </p>

<p>PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLAR</p>

<p>An out-of-state first-time freshman student who meets the December 1st scholarship priority deadline, has a 32-36 ACT or 1400-1600 SAT score [critical reading and math scores only] and at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA will be selected as a Presidential Scholar and will receive the value of out-of-state tuition for four years.</p>

<p>The above is for any major as long as you apply by Dec 1st and submit the scholarship app.</p>

<p>And if you major in some area of engineering or CS, you also get an additional 2500 per year.</p>

<p>I don’t know of any other Top 100 national univ that offers the above with only a 32 ACT or 1400 M+CR SAT</p>

<p>USC offers pretty substantial scholarships</p>

4

<p>Not for those scores. With an ACT 32 or 1400 m+cr, you won’t get merit at USC…my nephew was rejected with those scores. </p>

<p>USC is offering merit to the top 5% of its applicants…those would be students with ACT 35/36…or similar SAT scores.</p>

5

<p>Yes, they offer them but it is a competitive process that involves an on campus interview and is absolutely NOT guaranteed.</p>

6

<p>Slightly out of top 100…#124 Ohio University - Athens</p>

<p>You would qualify for full-tuition/fees with ACT 32…if in top 10 % of class</p>

<p>Thanks m2ck. How about merit scholarships in the top 50 LACs?</p>

8

<p>Bump. Bump. Bump. Are there any LACs that offer good merit scholarships for SAT / ACT / GPA?</p>

<p>You’re asking about Top 50 LACs…I’m looking at the top 50 list in the US News magazine.</p>

<p>I don’t know of any that give full tuition for those scores. I think higher would be needed. </p>

<p>Tuition at many LACs is costing up to $40k per year…that’s a lot to give away “per year” without really high stats and possibly EC consideration…and probably nothing assured. Probably competitive.</p>

<p>Do you need “full tuition”? Look at it this way…Getting a full tuition scholarship can leave you with about $15k-20k per year to cover yourself for room, board, books, fees, travel, and personal expenses. If you think that you and your family can cover about $15k-20k per year, then you do need full tuition at least.</p>

<p>What is your intended major?</p>
