Awards are based on a high school GPA and SAT/ACT test scores. See the Distinguished Scholarship page of the ASU website for eligibility requirements. Upon being accepted for admissions to ASU, your high school transcripts and/or ACT/SAT scores will be evaluated automatically to determine your eligibility for this scholarship. No additional application is necessary. If you are selected for an ASU Distinguished Scholarship, you will be notified via email within two weeks after you have been accepted for admissions to ASU.
Other ASU Scholarships are awarded through the following:
