I don’t know what ACT score they use for scholarship awards. I don’t know their formula for the process…its just from hearsay that I know in “general terms” what it takes to be offered a scholarship. Scholarships at every college are discretionary. They are not automatic nor a “right.” But if you don’t get one, you may get a grant in aid, through financial aid. That affects a lot of things too.

The cost of higher education is becoming alarmingly expensive. (See the thread on CC about that.) Its a grave concern for families and colleges. Some colleges are cutting back on programs, firing employees and professors and enforcing wage freezes.

I wish you the very best in your search for colleges and a way to pay for it.
