Indiana Institute of Technology: merit scholarships by GPA
Indiana Institute of Technology awards automatic merit aid from a published grid keyed to GPA — the ACT is not used. Awards start at a 2.41 GPA and reach $18,000 a year. Because the bands are steps rather than a slope, a hundredth of a GPA point is worth nothing inside a band and the whole step at the edge of one.
Enter a GPA below to see which band it actually lands in, what that band pays, and what the next band needs.
Read this first
Indiana Tech says a submitted ACT or SAT "may qualify you for a higher scholarship level" but publishes no threshold and no increment — the figure comes from its Net Price Calculator. So for a student who submits a score these amounts are a floor, not the answer. The award is restricted to tuition.
Unweighted, as the school asks for it.

Example — a 3.60 GPA
Achievement Award
$15,000 a year / year
About $60,000 over four years, if it renews.
Indiana Tech awards this on GPA alone, so an ACT score does not change it. A higher score can still matter for admission, for honours programmes, and at other schools on the list — but not for this award.
The ACT doesn't move the money here — but it still decides admission, honours eligibility, and what they is worth at the other schools on the list, where most awards are score-keyed.

Does Indiana Tech superscore for scholarships?
Not stated, and there is no published threshold for a superscore to be read against.
With nothing published, plan for the stricter reading: look up your best single sitting in the grid above, work out your superscore as well, and ask Indiana Tech’s financial aid office which one they read before you count on the higher band.

Where these numbers came from
Every figure on this page was read from Indiana Institute of Technology’s own published pages, linked below with the date we last confirmed them. We do not estimate a missing band or interpolate a value.
- The published ladder is GPA-only and spans $13,000 a year from the bottom rung to the top.
- Every admitted student reaches a rung — the lowest is "2.40 & below" at $5,000.
- A submitted test score can raise the award, but by an amount Indiana Tech does not publish. The Net Price Calculator is the only place the figure appears.
- The award is restricted to tuition and cannot be applied to other charges.
- Student athletes are told to discuss how the merit award fits with an athletic offer, so the two may interact.
- The page prints no entry year, so a family should confirm the figures still apply to their cycle.
- The page does not say whether the GPA is weighted or unweighted.
Check before you rely on it. Grids change by entry year and schools update them without notice. This page is a reproduction with a date on it, not a guarantee, and it is not financial aid advice. ClutchACT is not affiliated with Indiana Institute of Technology.
Frequently asked questions
What ACT score do you need for a scholarship at Indiana Tech?
Indiana Institute of Technology publishes a merit aid grid keyed to ACT score and GPA. See the tables on this page for the current bands.
Is Indiana Tech test-optional?
The scholarship page does not state an admission testing requirement, so nothing is claimed about it here. For merit aid the answer is different: a score can raise the award, but Indiana Tech publishes no threshold and no amount — the increment is decided inside its Net Price Calculator. A student with no score still reaches the $18,000 Elite rung at a 3.75. Being admitted without a score and qualifying for money without a score are two separate questions.
How much is a 30 on the ACT worth at Indiana Tech?
On Indiana Tech's published grid for the current cycle, an ACT of 30 with a 3.6 GPA qualifies for Achievement Award at $15,000 a year, about $60,000 over four years if it renews.
Does Indiana Tech superscore the ACT for scholarships?
Not stated, and there is no published threshold for a superscore to be read against.
Is this Indiana Tech scholarship data current?
Every figure on this page was read from Indiana Institute of Technology's own published pages and last verified on 2026-10-24. The sources are linked at the bottom of the page with that date. Grids change by entry year, so check the source before relying on a figure for a decision.

What to do next
Indiana Tech awards on GPA — but the ACT still decides what you're worth elsewhere.
Most schools in this comparison are score-keyed even though Indiana Tech is not, so the same test still moves the money everywhere else on the list.
