Hey guys! I recently received my ACT score and it was higher than I expected (yay!). Does anyone know of some good scholarships that are specifically for students with high ACT scores? I'd really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
Congratulations on your high ACT score! That's an incredible achievement, and it's great that you're looking into scholarships that cater to students with high academic performance. Scholarships specifically tied to ACT scores may vary depending on the college or scholarship-granting organization.
Many colleges themselves give out merit-based scholarships depending on your ACT score (among other factors). So, when you apply to colleges, check if the institution offers any merit scholarships you may qualify for with your outstanding ACT performance.
You can also look into external scholarships such as the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, AXA Achievement Scholarship, and Ronald McDonald House Charities Scholarships that award high-achieving students. Although these scholarships do not focus exclusively on ACT scores, your high score could still be an advantage when applying.
Lastly, consider using scholarship search engines like Fastweb, Cappex, and CollegeVine's scholarship listings, to find scholarships that match your profile, including your stellar ACT performance. Best of luck!
