Lake Erie College: merit scholarships by GPA
Lake Erie College awards automatic merit aid from a published grid keyed to GPA — the ACT is not used. Awards reach $23,000 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
No score is used, but the GPA is not the whole story either: Lake Erie states transferable credits, high school performance and coursework are ALSO considered in determining eligibility, so the published band is indicative rather than purely mechanical. The ladder steps evenly at $2,000 and reaches down to a 2.84 and below. The page carries no cycle year.
Unweighted, as the school asks for it.

Example — a 3.60 GPA
Tiberius Scholarship
$21,000 / year
About $84,000 over four years, if it renews.
Lake Erie 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.
