University of Wisconsin–Green Bay: merit scholarships by ACT score
University of Wisconsin–Green Bay awards automatic merit aid from a published grid crossing ACT score with GPA. Awards start at an ACT of 23 and reach 100% remission. Because the bands are steps rather than a slope, one 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.

The Phoenix Scholar Award is for students who are NON-RESIDENT for tuition purposes — Wisconsin residents are not eligible. It is published as a percentage remission rather than a dollar amount, and Green Bay does not state what the percentage applies to. It also requires in-person classes, and a mixed schedule reduces the award proportionally.
Unweighted, as the school asks for it.

Example — an ACT 29 with a 3.60 GPA
Phoenix Scholar Award — Gold
100% remission
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.

Does UW-Green Bay superscore for scholarships?
Not stated. Green Bay's Phoenix Scholar page does not use the word, so a student sitting just below the 23 or 26 threshold should ask in writing whether sittings can be combined.
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 UW-Green Bay’s financial aid office which one they read before you count on the higher band.

Where these numbers came from
Every figure on this page was read from University of Wisconsin–Green Bay’s own published pages, linked below with the date we last confirmed them. We do not estimate a missing band or interpolate a value.
- Wisconsin residents are not eligible. The award is only for students who are non-resident for tuition purposes.
- The award is a percentage remission, not a dollar figure, and Green Bay does not say what the percentage applies to.
- A score or a GPA qualifies on its own — the ACT, the SAT and the cumulative GPA are listed as alternatives.
- In-person classes are required, and Green Bay states that a mixed schedule reduces the award proportionally.
- The award is for a first bachelor's degree only and stops at 150 attempted credits, including transfer and test credits.
- A separate UW-Green Bay scholarship application covers other awards and is not part of this grid.

Frequently asked questions
What ACT score do you need for a scholarship at UW-Green Bay?
Automatic merit aid at University of Wisconsin–Green Bay starts at an ACT composite of 23, alongside the published GPA minimum, and reaches 100% remission at the top of the 2 grids it publishes. The bands are steps rather than a slope, so the only score that matters is the next threshold above where you are now.
Is UW-Green Bay test-optional?
The Phoenix Scholar Award page does not state the admission testing requirement, so nothing is claimed about it here. For merit aid the answer is different: a score is one route and a GPA is another. A 26 reaches Gold with no GPA threshold stated, and a 3.51 reaches it with no test at all — so a student uses whichever they have. Being admitted without a score and qualifying for money without a score are two separate questions.
Does in-state or out-of-state change merit aid at UW-Green Bay?
Yes. UW-Green Bay publishes separate grids: Non-residents qualifying on GPA run up to 100% remission a year, and Non-residents qualifying on a test score run up to 100% remission. Check which grid applies to you before planning around a figure.
Does UW-Green Bay superscore the ACT for scholarships?
Not stated. Green Bay's Phoenix Scholar page does not use the word, so a student sitting just below the 23 or 26 threshold should ask in writing whether sittings can be combined.
Is this UW-Green Bay scholarship data current?
Every figure on this page was read from University of Wisconsin–Green Bay'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.
