Mount Aloysius College: merit scholarships by GPA
Mount Aloysius College awards automatic merit aid from a published grid keyed to GPA — the ACT is not used. Awards start at a 2.0 GPA and reach $11,000 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.

Mount Aloysius publishes only four-year totals, each worded "up to", so the annual figures here are those divided by four. Another Mount Aloysius page lists Academic Excellence awards at $7,000 to $10,000 which conflict with this grid and may be an older version. The awards are for new full-time students, no renewal condition is published, and a separate $2,000 residence hall grant applies only to students living on campus.
Unweighted, as the school asks for it.

Example — a 3.60 GPA
Saint Aloysius Award
Up to $28,000 over a 4 year period — about $7,000 a year / year
About $28,000 over four years, if it renews.
Mount Aloysius 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.

Mount Aloysius scholarship deadlines

Where these numbers came from
Every figure on this page was read from Mount Aloysius College’s own published pages, linked below with the date we last confirmed them. We do not estimate a missing band or interpolate a value.
- Every figure on the page is a four-year total, so the annual amounts are a quarter of them.
- Read as annual, the published numbers would be four times too large.
- The ladder reaches down to a 2.0, where the Sister Blake Award still pays up to $16,000 across four years.
- The 3.39-to-3.40 step is worth $2,000 a year, more than the two steps below it combined.
- Every amount is worded "up to".
- No rung reads an ACT score.
- Another Mount Aloysius page lists conflicting Academic Excellence awards at $7,000 to $10,000.
- A separate $2,000 residence hall grant applies only to students living on campus.
- Mount Aloysius publishes no renewal condition for these awards.
- The Mercy Presidential Scholarship and the Mother Mary Frances Ward Fellowship are competitive, so neither is a band here.

Frequently asked questions
What ACT score do you need for a scholarship at Mount Aloysius?
Mount Aloysius College publishes a merit aid grid keyed to ACT score and GPA. See the tables on this page for the current bands.
Is Mount Aloysius test-optional?
Optional for most programmes, and the merit grid names no test at all. For merit aid the answer is different: the grid is GPA alone. Even the Mercy Presidential Scholarship, the one award that mentions scores, accepts a principal's letter and two teacher letters instead. 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 Mount Aloysius?
On Mount Aloysius's published grid for the current cycle, an ACT of 30 with a 3.6 GPA qualifies for Saint Aloysius Award at $7,000 a year, about $28,000 over four years if it renews.
Does Mount Aloysius superscore the ACT for scholarships?
Not stated, and the grid reads no score.
When are Mount Aloysius scholarship deadlines?
Admission: Rolling. The application and the official score report are both due by that date, and ACT scores take roughly two to four weeks to arrive — so the last useful test date is several weeks earlier than the deadline suggests.
Is this Mount Aloysius scholarship data current?
Every figure on this page was read from Mount Aloysius College's own published pages and last verified on 2026-10-25. 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.
