Undergraduate Scholarships

Scholarship Types

Undergraduate students at TROY are eligible for several scholarship opportunities that assist in making college more affordable. While ACT/SAT scores are not required for admission to TROY, students must have at least a 20 ACT or 1030 SAT and a 3.0 GPA to apply for freshman scholarships.*

Merit scholarships are awarded based on high school academic merit. The application for these scholarships opens every year on Sept. 1 and closes on Dec. 1. Please note, scholarship deadlines are subject to change. 

Foundation scholarships are awarded to students who meet the requirements set by the donating party. These can range from the academic program students are studying to where students live. Applications for Foundation Scholarships open every year on Jan. 1 and close on March 1. 

*Troy University will consider scholarship applicants without their ACT scores through a review of the total student record, however, to ensure eligibility and maximize award value, students should submit all ACT/SAT testing records.

What's My Superscore?

Have you taken the ACT or SAT multiple times? TROY considers undergraduate students for scholarship awards based on their superscore.

Your superscore is calculated by averaging the best scores from each section of all tests that you've taken. This means that for scholarships, we review all applicants based on their overall performance. Your writing score does not calculate into your superscore and ACT and SAT scores cannot be combined for superscores. Contact your Admissions Counselor for more information on your superscore.
