Scholarships based on SAT/ACT scores &/or class ranking (TEXAS)

Scholarships based on SAT/ACT scores &/or class ranking (TEXAS) 
Researched in April 2017, all information subject to change by institution. 
 
For a few OOS (out of state) schools, this article might be helpful, but written 3/2015 (w/ old SAT socres): 
http://blog.prepscholar.com/guaranteed-scholarships-based-on-sat-act-scores      Another article written 
8/2015: http://thecollegematchmaker.com/134-college-scholarships-awarded-solely-for-high-grades-and-
satact-scores/   Look into: Alma College, U of Alabama, Auburn, Ball State, Colorado State, Ohio State, LSU, U of 
Iowa, U of Memphis, Miami University (OH), Pacific Lutheran U,  Southeastern University (FL), U of New 
Mexico, U of N Florida, Union University, Florida Gulf Coast U, Florida Atlantic U, Oklahoma City University. 
 
When I couldn’t find anything online, it could be because there are some schools that require you to create an 
account and log in to search for scholarships.  I will leave those to you.  Others simply don’t have automatic 
scholarships or don’t list requirements online.  If it was stated that it was based on grades and test scores, then 
I’ve tried to include the link.  If these statements were not in their descriptions, I have not provided any links.   
Also, simply because I didn’t find the information, doesn’t mean that the scholarships don’t exist.  They may 
simply not be published, so don’t reject a school because my research didn’t find this information.  Good luck!

Freshman Merit Scholarships

When determining merit-based scholarships, ACU considers high school GPA, class rank and

ACT/SAT test scores. These awards range from $6,500 per year to $15,000 per year.

37. Baylor University

https://www.baylor.edu/estimator/

Baylor does not have set cut-offs for these award tiers but bases the awards on SAT/ACT

score and class rank. They do have a scholarship estimator you can use to predict your award

amount. As an example, based on the estimator, a 36 ACT with a high class rank (5/500) gets

you a President’s Gold scholarship of $20,000. A 34 with the same rank also gets you

$20,000, a 32 gets you $17,000, and a 28 gets you $14,500. Or to take another example, if

your class rank is 250/500 and you have a 24 ACT, you don’t qualify for a scholarship. But if

you have that same rank but a 28 ACT, you can get a Dean’s Gold Scholarship of $11,000 per

year.
