Editor's notes
- Apply and get admitted by early winter. The Presidential and Provost scholarships require admission first, and their window closes Feb. 1.
- Test-optional at JSU really means a 3.20 unweighted GPA. Below that, you need an ACT 16 or 18 for full admission, and the top scholarships need ACT 25 or higher.
