<p>My son is one of those students with great test scores and a good GPA at a very tough school—in other words, good stats—but otherwise doesn't really stand out.</p>
<p>What colleges offer great guaranteed scholarships based on stats? (Not National Merit. There's already a great thread about those.) I've seen a few colleges that guarantee a certain amount money if you have a certain minimum ACT or SAT score and/or GPA. I'm looking for more of those.</p>
<p>I searched and didn't find an existing thread on this topic, but if you know of one and can post a link, I thank you!</p>
<p>Last year I read through every thread I could find on CC for hints about which colleges might offer such scholarships–generally looked for those that were automatic–and found several in the sticky threads on merit scholarships. It took a lot of time. Unfortunately the sticky threads for the 2009/2013 class acceptances in the parents forum have been removed. One of those threads listed colleges and named scholarships. Many of those scholarships are the type you seek. The best advice I’ve seen is to google for them. For example one might google SAT 1500 scholarship and limit the responses to websites with edu at the end.</p>
