Merit scholarships for a 1350 SAT

A student with an SAT score of 1350 meets the published SAT threshold at 94 colleges in our verified dataset. 33 of those colleges guarantee the award automatically for students who meet the full published criteria; 61 automatically consider students, with amounts that are not guaranteed. For each college we show the top published award an SAT of 1350 reaches, with every remaining condition — most awards also require a minimum GPA, printed on each row. All figures come from the colleges' own published pages, verified 2026-11-02.

Guaranteed automatic awards

Each award below is labelled guaranteed automatic because the college's own page explicitly says the award is automatic for students who meet the published criteria. Amounts are exact published figures. The award shown is the top published award at this college that the band on this page reaches — its remaining conditions (GPA, residency, deadlines) are on its row.

Common questions

How many colleges guarantee a merit scholarship at a 1350 SAT?

33 colleges in our verified dataset guarantee an award automatically at an SAT of 1350, when the student also meets the award's other published conditions such as its GPA minimum. 61 more colleges consider students automatically at this score, but their amounts are not guaranteed.

Is the award shown the most an SAT of 1350 can earn at each college?

Yes — for every college we show the top published award whose SAT threshold is 1350 or lower. A higher score can reach higher tiers at the same college; the college's own page, linked from every row, shows its full grid.

Where do these amounts come from?

Every figure is taken from the college's own published merit page and was verified on 2026-11-02. MeritChart does not use aggregator data, and colleges change their grids — always confirm on the official source before applying.

How to read this page: figures come only from the college's own published pages. Class A = guaranteed automatic (the college publishes the promise). Class B = automatic consideration — amount not guaranteed. Every figure links to its official source with a verification date. Full methodology →
Not affiliated with any college. Awards are determined by each college; your official award letter is final.
