RAISE YOUR SAT SCORE | ATTEND YOUR CHOICE OF UNIVERSITY | EARN SCHOLARSHIPS OF $1,000 to full ride

JOAN GEYER KALIHER

Getting a better SAT Composite is such a high stakes game these days. Your test result can determine which school you get into and whether or not you get a scholarship. Each college or university seems to have different requirements for admission and for scholarships. But, almost all of them require a minimum SAT Composite and minimum GPA in combination. Some also have additional requirements. For example, students may be required to show demonstrated experience in leadership, service, and/or school or community activity.

So, raising your SAT score as high as possible, along with maintaining a high GPA, will help you get into the college or university of your choice and may lower your college costs considerably through scholarship awards.

Even if you or your family have the financial resources to afford the high cost of college, wouldn't it be much better to save thousands of dollars by getting an academic scholarship?

If you or your family don't have the financial resources, wouldn't it be much better to qualify academically and financially to attend a good four-year college or university instead of attending a community college because of cost considerations?

You will have to check with admissions at each college you consider to understand what SAT composite & GPA requirements are. Although some colleges admit students with lower SAT composites & GPA's, selective Colleges & Universities require a 1160 - 1340 or higher; GPA's of 3.0 to 3.5+.

For scholarship requirements, check with the scholarship or financial aid departments at each college or university. Requirements vary all over the map, but in general they follow a pattern like this:

SAT Composite 1130 - 1270: Some academic scholarships are available starting at this SAT score range, depending on your GPA.

SAT Composite of 1280 -1340: More scholarships are available, some partial and some full ride scholarships, again depending on your GPA at this SAT score range.

SAT Composite of 1350 - 1440: Even more scholarships are available, including many full ride packages. Some selective universities provide scholarships at this SAT score range when combined with a GPA of 3.5 or higher.

SAT Composite of 1450 - 1600: Full ride scholarships are offered at many colleges and universities with an SAT score in this range along with a GPA of 3.8 - 4.0+.

Sliding scales for colleges or universities scholarships are sometimes used. That is, if you have a very high GPA you can still get a scholarship with a lower SAT score. On the other hand, if you have a very high SAT composite, you can still get a scholarship even though you have a lower GPA.

Most colleges and universities, however, just have a minimum SAT score combined with a minimum GPA or High School rank as requirements for a scholarship award.

Here are a few examples:

Auburn University offers academic scholarships to non-resident freshmen of $8,000 - $18,000/year based on a minimum 1340 on the SAT & a GPA 3.5+.

Arizona State offers with a SAT composite of 1280+, and a GPA of 3.0 - 3.7, $10,000 Dean's scholarship or $12,000 Provost scholarship.

The University of Missouri has a sliding scale for awards. $7,000 per year if you have a 1230 - 1150 with a GPA of 4.0+. With a 3.25 GPA, you will need 1450 or higher on your SAT. $18,000 will be awarded with 1300 or higher and GPA of 4.0+.

Boston University offers 20 Full-ride Trustee Scholarships with a SAT 1500+ and GPA in the top 5% of your class. They offer Presidential Scholarship of $25,000 to incoming students with similar academics.

Michigan State University start awarding up to $5,000 with 3.1 - 3.5 combined with a SAT score of starting at 1030 - 1050 up to 1,600. With a 4.0 and 1260 - 1290 SAT score, you may qualify for $15,000/year.

The University of Indiana has a variety of scholarship awards, including one that offers $500 - $3,000.00/year with minimum of 3.75 GPA and SAT score of 1310+.Kelley Scholars - 10 awards, 3.9 GPA with 1450 SAT score with amounts varying for in-state only.

The University of Iowa also offers a wide variety of scholarships, including Presidential Scholarships that awards $10,000 up to $20,000 per year if you have an SAT score of 1450 - 1480 + & a GPA of 3.8+ on a 4.0 scale.

It quickly becomes evident that a higher SAT test result can mean thousands of extra dollars in your pocket because you don't have to spend them on college costs.
