Hello all,
I’m a high school senior who just got my November SAT score back, scoring a 1500 (around top 1%). With this score, I know that I can get some great scholarships somewhere, but I don’t know how to find universities that would have any of these offers. It is worth being noted that I don’t have a great GPA or class rank, with a 3.1 and 3/30. I made many mistakes in my first few years of high school, but I ‘got my act together’. At any rate, I don’t want to discuss qualitative-based scholarships, I want to find where I can find merit based financial aid from this quantitative information. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I googled “test score based scholarships” and came up with many lists.
I already searched Google. The reason I came here is because I couldn’t find anything that was only for SAT scores, and not GPA.
You could get 45% of tuition at University of Alabama - Huntsville with your score and a 3.0 gpa or 100% tuition if you can get the gpa up to 3.5

GPA correlates better to university success than test scores - for scholarships most schools want to see both.
You would be eligible for a $14,000 scholarship from the University of Toledo. Remaining costs for tuition/fees and room/board would be about $15,000 a year. This is assuming you’re not an Ohio resident. I think costs would be even lower for an Ohio resident.
Some full tuition+ scholarships are listed here, along with GPA and scores needed: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/2006094-2017-automatic-full-tuition-full-ride-scholarships-p2.html
