Pell grants Illinois 5/11/20 May 2020 Version 5 The Power of the ACT in Arkansas Scholarships are listed by the ACT score required on the college website with the comparable SAT score included. Check the individual school’s website to verify that your SAT score will qualify for any specific award as some requirements may vary slightly. The dollar amount in each box in the chart represents the tuition cost after merit-based scholarships that a student with the given test score (listed across the top of each table) would pay for one year of tuition (15 credits per semester) at that college. (Reminder: non-tuition costs, including fees, housing, meals, and books, often add up to an additional ~$12,000 per year .) Blue boxes signify automatic scholarships (as listed on the college’s website). Automatic awards often also require a 1000 minimum GPA or class rank. 1000 Light gray boxes signify awards require a separate application or special consideration of some kind. Blank boxes signify there is no merit-based scholarship based primarily on that SAT/ACT score at this college; therefore, the student might expect to pay full tuition. The student should still apply for other merit-based and need- based scholarships. If an entire row is blank, the school does not organize its scholarships by test score or does not provide this specific type of information on its website. An asterisk * indicates fees are included in the school’s base tuition price. Textbooks, housing, and meals are generally not included. If a school offers a non-renewable award, the total award amount is averaged throughout the years of attendance. (For example, if a four-year school offers a one-year award of $500, the number shown is $125 less than total tuition, as the scholarship is divided by 4.) Figures are current as of November 2019.
