Merit scholarships for a 3.0 GPA
A student with a 3.0 GPA (4.0 scale) meets the published GPA threshold at 213 colleges in our verified dataset, before any test-score condition is considered. 58 of those colleges guarantee the award automatically for students who meet the full published criteria; 155 automatically consider students, with amounts that are not guaranteed. Each row shows the college's top award reachable at this GPA, together with its test-score threshold where the grid also requires one. 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 3.0 GPA?
58 colleges in our verified dataset guarantee an award automatically at a 3.0 GPA, when the student also meets the award's other published conditions — many grids in this list also require an ACT or SAT score, shown on each row. 155 more colleges consider students automatically at this GPA, but their amounts are not guaranteed.
Do all of these awards require a test score too?
No. Some colleges publish GPA-only awards — see the no-test-score page linked below. On this page, each row prints the award's ACT and SAT thresholds when the grid requires them, and a dash when it does not.
Is weighted or unweighted GPA used?
Most colleges publish their grids on an unweighted 4.0 scale, and this page uses the scale the college publishes. The college's own page, linked from every row, states its GPA basis.

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 →
