I just got my ACT scores back, and I hit a 30. Pretty stoked, but I'm also trying to figure out what this means for scholarships. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find scholarships that specifically look for a 30 ACT score? Any help would be amazing!
Congratulations on scoring a 30 on the ACT – that's a solid score and definitely something to be proud of! Scholarships can be based on a variety of factors including test scores, so you're in a good position. For scholarships specific to ACT scores, you'll want to start by checking out the financial aid pages of the colleges you're interested in, as they often have merit-based scholarships for strong academic achievements like yours. Additionally, your score might make you eligible for state-sponsored scholarships, depending on where you live. For example, in Missouri, the Bright Flight Program offers scholarships to top-scoring ACT students. Don't forget about private scholarships either; websites like CollegeVine, Fastweb, and the College Board's Scholarship Search are fantastic resources for finding scholarships where your ACT score will be an asset. Be sure to tailor your search with other qualities and interests you have – many scholarships look at the whole student, not just test scores. Good luck!
