That’s correct, the merit scholarships are based on the GPA for HS years 1 to 3 and the test score from either the ACT or SAT tests. However, other scholarships are available, and for those, you would need to fill out the scholarship application.
Also, whenever you speak with a representative from UA, note the date/time of your call and that person’s name for any future clarification. Personally, I like to followup with an email and keep the reply as reference material.
Again, I ask students and parents to reference the scholarship links and scholarship faqs page on UA’s website so that you are fully informed.
