Webber International University: merit scholarships by ACT score
Webber International University awards automatic merit aid from a published grid crossing ACT score with GPA. Awards start at an ACT of 18 and reach $20,000 a year. 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.
Read this first
Every merit tier requires an UNWEIGHTED GPA and a score together — there is no score-free route to any of them, so a 4.0 with no ACT reaches nothing on this ladder. The source is a PDF whose filename is dated 2023 and which names no academic year, and whose intro sentence is truncated in the file; confirm the figures still apply. Full-time enrolment in Webber's traditional programme is required.
Unweighted, as the school asks for it.

Example — an ACT 29 with a 3.60 GPA
Academic Merit Scholarship ($20,000)
$20,000 a year / year
About $80,000 over four years, if it renews.
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.

Is Webber test-optional?
For admission, largely yes. Webber's catalog describes scores as optional for first-year applicants, while its admissions process page asks applicants to submit them. The two sit awkwardly together, so neither is claimed outright.
For money, no. Every merit tier needs an unweighted GPA and a score together, and Webber publishes no score-free route to any of them. A 4.0 unweighted with no ACT reaches nothing on this ladder, where an 18 with a 2.75 reaches $10,000. A family that reads “test-optional” and skips the ACT can be admitted and still walk away from every dollar on the grid below.
The published Webber merit aid grid
Reproduced in full from Webber International 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.
Academic merit scholarships
Each tier pairs an unweighted GPA floor with a score floor. Both are required, and Webber asks for superscores with the transcript.

Does Webber superscore for scholarships?
Yes. Yes. Webber's own application requirements ask for "official transcripts and test super scores", so a combined best-sections composite is what it reads — and with four score windows $3,000 to $4,000 apart, that can move a student a whole tier.
“Official transcripts and test super scores”
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.

Where these numbers came from
Every figure on this page was read from Webber International 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.
- A score is mandatory at every tier. A 4.0 unweighted with no ACT reaches nothing here.
- The GPA is unweighted, which is lower than the weighted number most high schools report.
- The score windows are floors — 18, 21, 23 and 25 — and the steps between them are $3,000 to $4,000 a year.
- Webber asks for superscores alongside transcripts, so a targeted retake is worthwhile.
- Webber separately publishes "Academic Athletic Awards" of $1,500 to $3,500 on GPA alone, which its own heading ties to athletics and which may combine with the academic award. They are not a general no-score route, so they are not bands here.
- Students must be enrolled full-time in Webber's traditional programme.
- The source PDF names no academic year and its filename is dated 2023.
- Admission is rolling, and Webber accepts applications as long as space is available.

Frequently asked questions
What ACT score do you need for a scholarship at Webber?
Automatic merit aid at Webber International University starts at an ACT composite of 18, alongside the published GPA minimum, and reaches $20,000 a year at the top. The bands are steps rather than a slope, so the only score that matters is the next threshold above where you are now.
Is Webber test-optional?
Webber's catalog describes scores as optional for first-year applicants, while its admissions process page asks applicants to submit them. The two sit awkwardly together, so neither is claimed outright. For merit aid the answer is different: every merit tier needs an unweighted GPA and a score together, and Webber publishes no score-free route to any of them. A 4.0 unweighted with no ACT reaches nothing on this ladder, where an 18 with a 2.75 reaches $10,000. 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 Webber?
On Webber's published grid for the current cycle, an ACT of 30 with a 3.6 GPA qualifies for Academic Merit Scholarship ($20,000) at $20,000 a year, about $80,000 over four years if it renews.
How much is one more ACT point worth at Webber?
The most valuable single point on Webber's published grid is 20 to 21, at a 3.0 GPA: it moves the award by $4,000 a year, or $16,000 across a four-year degree. The same point is worth less at other GPAs, and most points move nothing at all — the grid steps rather than slopes, which is why the only score worth aiming at is the next threshold.
Does Webber superscore the ACT for scholarships?
