Scholarships and SAT and ACT Scores

One of the eligibility requirements for the USDA/1890 National Scholars Program scholarships is an combined verbal/math/written score of 1,500 or more on the SAT test or a composite score of 21 or more on the ACT. Although everyone is probably already familiar with these tests we are mentioning them here because a performance benchmark is required as noted.

The SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) is a standardized test taken by U.S. high school students applying to colleges. It is divided into two principal sections, verbal and mathematical.

The ACT (American College Test) is a standardized achievement examination for college admissions in the United States produced by ACT, Inc.

Students can begin taking these tests prior to their senior year in order to have an opportunity to re-take the test and improve their score. Improved scores mean access to a greater pool of financial resources and to a broader range of colleges and universities.

There are many resources to help students prepare for the ACT and SAT.  To get you started, we’ve listed some of them here.
