Stillman College: merit scholarships by GPA
Stillman College 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 $10,000 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.

Stillman's catalog says merit eligibility is determined by the student's SAT or ACT score and GPA, but no page publishes a score threshold — so a score matters by Stillman's own account in a way that cannot be looked up. Every amount is an "up to" figure and applies to tuition and on-campus housing only, so a commuting student's award is worth less than the number shown. The scholarship deadline is marked early action only.
Unweighted, as the school asks for it.

Example — a 3.60 GPA
Eye of the Tiger Scholarship
Up to $6,000 a year, toward tuition and on-campus housing / year
About $24,000 over four years, if it renews.
Stillman 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 Stillman superscore for scholarships?
Not stated. Since no score threshold is published, there is nothing a superscore can be measured 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 Stillman’s financial aid office which one they read before you count on the higher band.

Stillman scholarship deadlines
| Entry term | Due |
|---|---|
| Early action application and scholarship | December 1 |
| Regular decision | February 15 |
| Housing — early action | February 15 |
Scores take roughly two to four weeks to arrive, and official reports sent to schools can take longer, so the last useful test date is several weeks before the printed deadline. Check which test dates still make it.

- The ladder spans $6,000 a year, from $4,000 at a 3.0 to $10,000 at a 3.8.
- The 3.49-to-3.50 step is worth $2,000 a year, the largest on the grid.
- Every amount is an "up to" figure.
- The awards apply to tuition and on-campus housing only, so a commuter's award is worth less.
- Stillman's catalog names the ACT among the merit criteria but publishes no score threshold.
- The scholarship deadline is marked early action only — December 1.
- Below a 3.0 nothing is published.
- Whether the GPA is weighted is not stated, and Stillman publishes no renewal condition.
- Stillman's deadline table refers to "Competitive + Academic Scholarships", so some of its awards are competitive.

Frequently asked questions
What ACT score do you need for a scholarship at Stillman?
Stillman College publishes a merit aid grid keyed to ACT score and GPA. See the tables on this page for the current bands.
Is Stillman test-optional?
Third-party sites describe Stillman as test-blind, which contradicts its own page; the page is followed here. For merit aid the answer is different: stillman's catalog names the SAT or ACT as part of how merit eligibility is determined, yet no page publishes a score threshold — so nothing can be claimed about what a score is worth. 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 Stillman?
On Stillman's published grid for the current cycle, an ACT of 30 with a 3.6 GPA qualifies for Eye of the Tiger Scholarship at $6,000 a year, about $24,000 over four years if it renews.
Does Stillman superscore the ACT for scholarships?
Not stated. Since no score threshold is published, there is nothing a superscore can be measured against.
When are Stillman scholarship deadlines?
Early action application and scholarship: December 1. Regular decision: February 15. Housing — early action: February 15. 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 Stillman scholarship data current?
Every figure on this page was read from Stillman College'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
Stillman awards on GPA — but the ACT still decides what you're worth elsewhere.
Most schools in this comparison are score-keyed even though Stillman is not, so the same test still moves the money everywhere else on the list.
