Does anyone know what else I need to qualify? Or how they choose who gets the award?

Question

I got a 32 on my ACT. I heard that plus a 3 pt gpa qualifies me for a full scholarship.

Answer 1

No, unless you have 3.5 or higher and have extreem extra-curriculars, your probably not gona get a full ride.

For a full ride you would probably need the following combination:

Volunteer work- at least 250 hrs or more a year, volunteering with at LEAST 2 organizations

A sport

3.9+ GPA

Good SAT and ACT

Lots of LEADERSHIP (president, founder of club, etc.)

An overall theme (animals, homeless)

Hardship Overcome (moving to a country, family member dying)

Financial Need

A passion for something

Mainly AP, college and Honors Courses (of difficult subjects like math, science)

FUNDRAISERs are important, you must have made a big impact on your community somehow (more than just plain volunteering)

Many awards and recognition

Good connections and letter of references.

and a job, prefferably 2.

Now if you have all or 90% of the above, you will probably get quite a few scholarships, but full rides are really difficult to get and you might still not be able to get a full ride.

Good luck.  :)

Answer 2

32 is great, a 3.0 is average. You might need some extracurricular activities, maybe a job and some extra service learning hours (community). If you have a 3.7 and maybe a 3.5 it may be all yours....even though i have no clue what u r talking about.
