How should I use these scholarship estimates?
Look at the difference between the scholarship shown for the current score and the next score tier. This tells you which ACT score increases could affect the cost of a particular college.
Scholarship calculator
See what the next ACT score tier could be worth.
Enter a GPA, ACT score, and state of residence. The calculator compares that information with published scholarship tiers and shows the next ACT score that may qualify for a larger award.
Scholarship data changes over time.
These estimates are based on scholarship information on file and are meant for planning, not a final aid decision. Confirm award rules, residency rules, renewal requirements, and application deadlines with each school before making financial decisions.
Scholarship calculator FAQ
How to read the estimates.
Are these scholarship amounts guaranteed?
No. The calculator summarizes published scholarship information for planning. The college makes the final award decision, so families should confirm eligibility, deadlines, and renewal requirements with the school.
See scholarship and college-cost examplesWhy do GPA and residency matter?
Colleges set their own award rules. Some awards depend on GPA, ACT score, residency, or a mix of all three, so the same ACT score can mean different scholarship opportunities at different schools.
What should we do after we see the results?
Compare the next ACT score with the possible four-year scholarship difference. Then decide whether that target belongs in your student’s college and test-preparation plans.
