Millersville University of Pennsylvania: merit scholarships by GPA
Millersville University of Pennsylvania awards automatic merit aid from a published grid keyed to GPA — the ACT is not used. Awards start at a 3.0 GPA and reach $4,000 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.

The deciding GPA is one Millersville RECALCULATES on its own weighted scale, not the number on a transcript, so a family cannot work out their own rung in advance. The grid covers in-state, domestic, first-year students in face-to-face degree programmes only — non-residents and online students are not covered by it.
Unweighted, as the school asks for it.

Millersville Merit Scholarship
$1,500 a year / year
About $6,000 over four years, if it renews.
Millersville 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 Millersville superscore for scholarships?
Not stated, and it would not matter. The merit grid uses no test score.
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 Millersville’s financial aid office which one they read before you count on the higher band.
Comparing schools? See which colleges superscore for scholarships — 66 of 501 commit to it, 52 say they do not, and the rest never say.

Frequently asked questions
What ACT score do you need for a scholarship at Millersville?
Millersville University of Pennsylvania publishes a merit aid grid keyed to ACT score and GPA. See the tables on this page for the current bands.
Is Millersville test-optional?
Scores are optional, and Millersville invites applicants to submit scores, senior-year grades or other supporting material if it strengthens the application. For merit aid the answer is different: the merit grid is keyed to the recalculated GPA alone and the page never mentions a test score, so an ACT cannot move this award. Being admitted without a score and qualifying for money without a score are two separate questions.

On Millersville's published grid for Fall 2027 and Fall 2028 entry, an ACT of 30 with a 3.6 GPA qualifies for Millersville Merit Scholarship at $1,500 a year, about $6,000 over four years if it renews.
