Can I get the Academic Scholarship without taking the ACT/SAT?


It is highly encouraged that you submit your ACT/SAT scores. If you choose not to, your scholarship award will be based entirely on your cumulative GPA. Students with at least a 3.8 high school GPA can still qualify for a quarter-tuition scholarship without ACT/SAT scores. However, submitting strong test scores can significantly increase the amount of your award. See the Academic Scholarship page to view the award offer chart and for more information.
