Award

Awards are determined based on official testing and high school transcript information received by the Office of Admissions at the time of a
student’s application. Core GPAs are recalculated on an unweighted 4.0 scale using the student’s core academic courses (English, math,
science, social science, and foreign language) completed in high school.

Trinity University does not have a preference for ACT or SAT. Trinity superscores, using the highest test scores submitted for admission and
scholarship consideration. For ACT, the highest scores for each subtest will be combined to generate the highest composite score; for SAT,
the best Evidence-Based Reading & Writing and Math subscores will be used to calculate a maximum single score.
