Seton Hall University: merit scholarships and what the school publishes
Seton Hall University awards automatic merit aid from published criteria. Awards reach $4,000 - $25,000. 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 score and a GPA below to see which band it actually lands in, what that band pays, and exactly how many points the next one needs.

Seton Hall publishes one range, $4,000 to $25,000, and no GPA or score threshold for any point inside it, so nothing can be predicted from a transcript. The award applies only to the flat undergraduate tuition rate and is reduced if a student's tuition-only awards exceed tuition. The Father Corrigan and Father Fahy awards are competitive with amounts that vary. The Hometown Scholarship's 3.6 threshold applies only to students from specific hometowns, and the Catholic High School Achievement Award is restricted by school type, so neither is a band.
Unweighted, as the school asks for it.

Example — an ACT 29 with a 3.60 GPA
University Scholarship
$4,000 - $25,000
There is no higher band to reach at this GPA — more points would not change the award here. They may still matter for admission, for honours programmes, or at other schools on the list.
Knowing where a score sits is the easy part. Moving it starts with knowing exactly which questions they're being missed, and why.

The published Seton Hall merit aid grid
Reproduced in full from Seton Hall University’s own pages for the current cycle. Nothing here is estimated: where the school states a benefit rather than a figure, that is what the table says.

No application required and awarded automatically on the high school record. Seton Hall publishes no threshold.

Does Seton Hall superscore for scholarships?
Yes. Seton Hall combines the best results across sittings, worth doing even though the merit thresholds are unpublished.
“We will super-score the results of each exam”
So the number that matters here is your superscore, not your best single test. Work out your superscore and look that score up in the grid above — it may sit a band higher than the one you have been planning around.
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 Seton Hall?
Seton Hall University publishes a merit aid grid keyed to ACT score and GPA. See the tables on this page for the current bands.
Is Seton Hall test-optional?
Test-optional admission is committed through the fall 2029 application period, which is further ahead than most schools will say. For merit aid the answer is different: seton Hall never states what a score does for the award, only that the University Scholarship follows academic achievement in high school. It does superscore, so a submitted score is read somewhere in the process. Being admitted without a score and qualifying for money without a score are two separate questions.
Does Seton Hall superscore the ACT for scholarships?
Yes. Seton Hall combines the best results across sittings, worth doing even though the merit thresholds are unpublished. We will super-score the results of each exam
When are Seton Hall scholarship deadlines?
Early Action I: November 15. FAFSA (recommended): November 1. Special scholarships: January 15. Deposit: May 1. 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.
