While there are many scholarships for high ACT scores and SAT scores, not
everyone is good at taking tests. Luckily, there are many scholarships that
don't require SAT or ACT scores. These are awarded for academic achievement in
school, athletics, public service, artistic skill and other accomplishments.
Getting scholarships without ACT scores or SAT scores is all about following the
proper methods to find those opportunities.

SCHOLARSHIPS THAT DON'T REQUIRE SAT OR ACT SCORES

Financial Student Aid mentions that these days, it isn't enough to get good
grades; students who want to attend a good college must also demonstrate that
they are well-rounded and active participants in their school community. To make
your college application stand out and help you qualify for scholarships, you
should be involved in athletics, artistic endeavors, clubs and hobbies and
volunteer work. According to Financial Student Aid, the first step is to know
where to look to find scholarships that don't require high test scores. You can
utilize the internet as a resource but talk to your high school guidance
counselor, who can suggest specific scholarships and provide resources for
finding them on your own.

The good news is that you can and likely will be an excellent candidate for many
scholarships even without good test scores. To find scholarships, evaluate your
strengths. Determine not only what you're good at and love but also how you can
demonstrate those skills in an application.

Some areas to consider when searching for scholarships include:

 * Athletic scholarships: You can get a scholarship to college to play a sport
   or for having participated in sports in high school.
 * Artistic accomplishments: There are scholarships for painting, sculpting,
   dancing and even martial arts.
 * Personal attributes: If you're part of a minority group, you're an immigrant,
   you have certain diseases or disabilities or you're a first-generation
   college student, you may qualify for specific scholarships.
 * Various career paths: Some scholarships sponsor students interested in
   studying and working in particular fields.
 * Income: Pell Grants, for example, are federal income-based grants for
   college.
 * Affiliations with corporations and companies: You'll want to look for
   opportunities at the company where your parents work.

CAN SAT SCORES GET YOU SCHOLARSHIPS?

Remember that even if a scholarship application asks for test scores, this
doesn't automatically mean that they're scholarships for high SAT scores. They
will take all of the components of your application into consideration. If
you're a particularly bad test taker, include a cover letter with your
application that explains that circumstance and asks the committee to consider
other application materials.

In most cases, when SAT or ACT scores for scholarships are required as part of
the application, committees review many other additional factors. Believe it or
not, there are also scholarships for SAT scores or ACT scores only.

Schools award set amounts of aid annually to new students with exceptionally
high test scores. Many of these come from colleges and universities themselves.
These scholarships incentivize some of the best-performing high school seniors
to attend their college. Schools that do this include Baylor University,
Colorado State University, Ohio State University, Clemson University and the
University of Arizona.

WHAT ARE GOOD SAT SCORES FOR SCHOLARSHIPS?

The SAT scores range from 400 (the worst score) to 1600 (a perfect score).
Generally speaking, a score of 1200 or higher is considered a sign of
above-average intelligence. Therefore, the closer you can get to 1600, the more
scholarships will open for you. For the ACT exam, the highest score you can earn
is 36. Anything above 30 will usually earn eligibility for scholarships for high
ACT scores.

There are ways that you can improve your scores on both exams. Experts strongly
suggest taking a prep course, either in person or online. They help you brush up
on necessary knowledge and provide vital test-taking tips and tactics proven to
improve scores.
