Merit Aid for "B" Students?

Your ACT is low as compared to your SAT. A 1320 SAT equates to the starting score for an ACT score of 30. There are colleges and universities that may grant you up to full tuition,but unlikely that you could also get room and board. There are at least two schools giving tuition for secondary school majors. Some honors programs give merit money for as low as a 25 ACT. I will not recommend them by name for two reasons-neither of which should cause you any concern. Your strengths are your GPA and intended goal of teaching in high school. Lots of merit aid available,especially if you want to teach math or science or, of course, Arabic. Retake your ACTs because no school will ever see an ACT score unless you specify that particular test score be sent.
