Texas State University
The Achievement Scholarship is the middle band of Texas State University's guaranteed merit grid, paying $6,000 to $8,000 a year for four years.
The grid pairs test scores with class rank, so a lower score can still reach $8,000 with a top 5 per cent rank. International students qualify on the same published terms as Texas residents.
Renewal needs a 3.25 grade average and 28 credit hours a year.
$8,000 a year with an SAT of 1260 to 1410 or ACT of 27 to 31 and a top-quarter rank; $8,000 with an SAT of 1160 to 1250 or ACT of 24 to 26 and a top 5 per cent rank; $7,000 at a rank of 6 to 15 per cent; $6,000 at 16 to 25 per cent.
A qualifying combination of test score and class rank as published in the university's grid. Renewal needs a 3.25 cumulative grade average and 28 credit hours a year.
The university states the award is guaranteed to all qualified residents and nonresidents, including international students.
