Tiffin University: merit scholarships by GPA
Tiffin University awards automatic merit aid from a published grid keyed to GPA — the ACT is not used. Awards reach $20,000 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.

No score is used — Tiffin's grid is keyed to a cumulative high school GPA alone. The grid is for ON-CAMPUS first-year undergraduates, so a commuter should confirm what applies. The ladder is flat by the standards of this dataset: the whole range from a 2.39 to a 3.80+ is worth $7,000 a year, which makes this closer to a discount schedule than a merit competition.
Unweighted, as the school asks for it.

Example — a 3.60 GPA
President Scholarship
$19,000 / year
About $76,000 over four years, if it renews.
Tiffin 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 Tiffin superscore for scholarships?
Not stated, and moot — no Tiffin merit band uses a 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 Tiffin’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.
Where these numbers came from
Every figure on this page was read from Tiffin University’s own published pages, linked below with the date we last confirmed them. We do not estimate a missing band or interpolate a value.
- Everyone admitted gets a figure: the bottom band pays $13,000 a year at a 2.39 GPA or below.
- The spread from bottom to top is only $7,000 a year, so moving a GPA band is worth less here than at most schools in this dataset.
- The grid is explicitly for on-campus first-year undergraduates.
- Awards are made once official documents are received.
- The 2027-2028 dating makes this one of the current grids in this dataset.
- Tiffin is silent on the Enhanced ACT.

Frequently asked questions
What ACT score do you need for a scholarship at Tiffin?
Tiffin University publishes a merit aid grid keyed to ACT score and GPA. See the tables on this page for the current bands.
Is Tiffin test-optional?
Not stated on the scholarship page. No merit band uses a score. For merit aid the answer is different: not used. Every band is published against a cumulative high school GPA and no ACT figure appears in Tiffin's academic scholarship criteria. 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 Tiffin?
On Tiffin's published grid for 2027-2028 entry, an ACT of 30 with a 3.6 GPA qualifies for President Scholarship at $19,000 a year, about $76,000 over four years if it renews.
Does Tiffin superscore the ACT for scholarships?
Not stated, and moot — no Tiffin merit band uses a score.
Is this Tiffin scholarship data current?
Every figure on this page was read from Tiffin University's own published pages and last verified on 2026-10-21. 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
Tiffin awards on GPA — but the ACT still decides what you're worth elsewhere.
Most schools in this comparison are score-keyed even though Tiffin is not, so the same test still moves the money everywhere else on the list.
