[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3883615, member: 14646"] What college/s is your kid looking at? Most colleges will have specific opportunities for scholarships. If your daughter took the ACT and got a 24 then she should also take the SAT to compare scores. Not in the literal sense but depending on her strengths and weaknesses some kids will perform better on the SAT vs ACT. I believe the ACT is better for kids that are stronger with math and science. A score of 24 on the ACT is darn good but if her first time taking it then make sure she takes it again as well as the SAT. There are ACT/SAT prep classes that can be hugely beneficial to increase your kids scores. Typically ot cheap but can more than pay for their costs with higher scores thus getting more scholarship money. Also, most colleges have websites that show you what types and how much they offer. OSU has a pretty good site for this in the link below. My son was an out of state student with an ACT of 21 and HS GPA of 3.75 and got $11K per year / $44K over four years at OSU.
