ACU considers high school GPA, class rank and ACT/SAT test scores These awards range from $6,500 per year to $15,000 per year 37 Baylor University https://www.baylor.edu/estimator/ Baylor does not have set cut-offs for these award tiers but bases the awards on SAT/ACT score and class rank They have a scholarship estimator you can use to predict your award amount As an example, based on the estimator, a 36 ACT with a high class rank (5/500) gets you a President’s Gold scholarship of $20,000 A 34 with the same rank also gets you $20,000, a 32 gets you $17,000, and a 28 gets you $14,500 Or to take another example, if your class rank is 250/500 and you have a 24 ACT, you don’t qualify for a scholarship But if you have that same rank but a 28 ACT, you can get a Dean’s Gold Scholarship of $11,000 per year 38 Dallas Baptist University http://www2.dbu.edu/financial-aid/index.php?action=scholar-general#academic_hon Academic Honors Scholarship New students who have demonstrated exceptional
