<p>I know that my ACT score is low and as I mentioned, I’m retaking it in September and October. I would like to apply as early as possible to PSU, but I definitely want to get my score up. I know the Bunton-Waller Fellowship is offered to outstanding students, but
un-represented students campus-wide are considered first. I really would like to go to Penn State and I’m applying for other scholarships, it’s just that the tuition is a bit high for my family.</p>
