Many 4-year colleges and universities use ACT scores as part of their admissions and scholarship decisions. Requirements vary by school, so be sure to check the admissions website for each college or university you are considering.
Even if a college does not require test scores for admission, a strong ACT score may help you qualify for scholarships or other opportunities.
