ACT scholarships - how to find?

So I just got my ACT score back and I'm really excited about it. Does anyone know some scholarships that are rewarded based on ACT scores? Thanks in advance!

Absolutely, congrats on your ACT score! Many scholarships are merit-based, meaning they're awarded based on your academic achievements, and your ACT score can certainly come into play.

For a start, many colleges automatically offer scholarships for students based on their standardized test scores and GPAs. For example, the University of Alabama awards scholarships that cover up to full tuition for out-of-state students with high ACT scores and GPAs.

There are also organizations and companies that offer scholarships based on standardized test scores. One example is the Coca-Cola Scholars Program, which gives scholarships based on overall academic achievement, including ACT scores.

Another useful approach would be to search for local scholarships in your area. Often, local businesses or organizations offer scholarships for students in the community based on their academic performance.

Also, keep in mind that many scholarships, while not explicitly based on ACT scores, require you to submit your scores as part of the application. Thus, your high ACT score can indirectly help you land those scholarships.

Remember that meeting the test score threshold for a scholarship doesn't guarantee that you'll get it, as many of these awards are also based on factors like extracurricular involvement, leadership, and essays. So, don't forget to highlight your other strengths in your applications.

Lastly, don't forget to search for scholarships that match your unique strengths and interests, such as those awarded for community service, artistic talent, vocational interests, and more. Your ACT score is just one part of the picture!

Good luck with your scholarship search!
