Merit awards are available to first-time freshmen (students entering ACU with less than 12 hours - excluding dual credit, AP, IB) with an ACT score of 22 or above or an SAT score of 1020 or above.  A student may receive this scholarship up to eight long semesters and must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA to keep the award.

This award is automatically awarded to eligible students when admitted to the University. Students will be given credit for the highest composite test score on record prior to initial enrollment. Refer to the following chart to determine the amount of your Academic Scholarship.  The amounts listed are for the Fall 2009 school year.



*At this time, ACU does not incorporate the writing section of the SAT into the total SAT score.  Therefore, only the combination of the verbal and math sections are used to determine the amount of your award.  Click here to read FAQ's about ACT and SAT scores.
