Qualifying scores on Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or American College Test (ACT)
Applicants must have BOTH the minimum individual scores in the SAT/ACT Math and Verbal and a minimum Combined (Math plus Verbal) score in order to be eligible to apply for the scholarship. Students that did, or do not have reasonable access to SAT or ACT testing, and therefore were unable to test or unable to retest in order to achieve qualifying scores, may request an exception to policy (ETP). ETP’s will be granted on a case-by-case basis only. Students that had or have reasonable access to SAT or ACT testing may not request an ETP. In order to request an ETP, student must meet the GPA, Math GPA, and written statement requirements listed below.
For Navy and Nurse scholarship eligibility, applicants must meet the requirements of minimum individual score and combined score. Tests can be super scored, meaning some combination of two of the SAME TYPE of test can be used to achieve the minimum required combined score and will be utilized in determining the highest individual test scores. For example :
Applicant took ACT in May and achieved 30 in Math and 18 in English. A second ACT was taken in October resulting in a 20 in Math and a 27 in English. The superscore would be the highest individual test score from each category - 30 Math (May) and 27 English (October) resulting in a combined score of 57.
The SAT would function in the same manner.
540 Math; 550 Verbal Evidence Based Reading and Writing AND 1100 Combined (Math plus Evidence Based Reading and Writing)
21 Math; 22 English AND 44 Combined (Math plus English)
A cumulative High school GPA of 2.75 (on a 4.0 Scale) AND a 2.0 grade (on a 4.0 Scale) in Algebra II (or equivalent course) AND a statement from their high school guidance counselor or senior JROTC instructor certifying that SAT and ACT testing was not reasonably available to the applicant.
Applicants with the minimum individual Math and Verbal scores but not the combined score, and who respond positively to the MSISR interest question in the application, are eligible to apply and will be considered on the MSISR selection board (Navy Option only). See the link below for more information on the MSISR scholarship.
