Scholarships with ACT 33 at a school with Physicians Assistant Program

Paying for College
1

I am looking for a school with a Physicians Assistant Program or a good biological sciences program where I would get some decent merit aide. My ACT score was 33 and I also have a very good ACT score. Midwest area preferred but not required. Any suggestions?

Take a look at Pitt. 33ACT is kind of the minimum to get merit but there are probably other factors so you might get merit. They also have a Guaranteed Admittance Program for PA but that would be an extreme long shot even if you are invited to apply.

Duquesne $10-$20k merit possible (free online application until Dec)

Seton Hill (free university application, apply before Oct 15)

Their net price calculator should give merit and need based estimate https://www-2011.setonhill.edu/npc/index.cfm

UAB. Merit plus excellent PA school.

However, you do NOT have to go to an undergrad with a PA school. You can get great merit at a variety of good schools and then apply to PA school.

Unless you’re in a direct admit or guaranteed program, there’s no assurance that if you go to a certain school with a PA school that you’ll be admitted to that PA program.

UA also would give you a lot of merit.

What do you need your net cost to be?

what is your SAT score?

6

As per above, scholarships are irreverent unless you can pay the actual COA. Lots of schools give out little bits of money, do you need a little or a lot? Define your yearly budget.

I have not taken the SAT, just the ACT. I am still researching tuition costs. I know UW-Madison is my home college and that is $25K per year. I know that will even be a stretch for me. I also am considering UW-LaCrosse as they have a PA school.

I don’t have a good reason why I am looking at PA-only schools. I just figured they would be familiar with and prepare students well for PA school.

Marquette University - expect at least $12k Pere Marquette merit award.

Thank you for your comments and suggestions. I really appreciate it.

I was starting out looking in the Midwest first but know of Alabama’s merit awards. Utah also was tempting but pretty far from home.

I will be applying to Marquette but wasn’t sure how affordable it would be.

No, they wouldn’t be doing anything differently.
