Augustana's Presidential Scholarship is its top academic merit award for incoming first-year students, worth $33,000 a year toward tuition. It's given automatically to admitted students with a recalculated cumulative high school GPA of 3.8 or better, who have typically also scored 1300+ on the SAT or 28+ on the ACT when submitted — there's no separate scholarship application, since Augustana evaluates every applicant for merit aid during admission review. Recipients keep the full award all four years by enrolling full time and maintaining a 3.0 Augustana GPA.
