Did you know that you can get ACT scholarships if you manage to get an above-average score on the ACT? You can use the same to ease your financial burden while studying in the US. The ACT is among the top examinations used by American universities to offer admissions to both domestic and international students. Also, besides helping students with their university expenses, winning a scholarship also means going up the academic ladder faster.

A good ACT score will depend on the institution that the student is applying to as each institution sets a different ACT cutoff. However, it is to be noted that the higher one’s ACT score is, the better university they can get into.
