Each Caroline D. Bradley Scholarship applicant is required to submit a state, district or school-administered, standardized test results.
Students with no standardized testing record due to homeschooling or their school or program not administering standardized testing ARE still eligible to apply for the Scholarship.
Applicants must be in the top tier in at least ONE qualifying subtest or total battery/composite on a standardized test for the past two years. Acceptable academic areas include keywords such as: Mathematics, Mathematics Total, Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal, Verbal Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, Language, Language Total, English Language Arts, Total Battery or Total Composite.
Standardized test score reports should be included in the application uploaded by the applicant.
The ACT or SAT is highly encouraged for those applying to the Class of 2030 Caroline D. Bradley Scholarship.
SAT/ACT dates and registration info can be found below. Please note that the ACT/SAT is, again, optional but encouraged for the Class of 2030 Caroline D. Bradley Scholarship Program. If the test cost presents a financial barrier please email Scholarship@EducationalAdvancement.org. Financial Aid is limited and considered on a case-by-case basis.
If your child is under 13, please contact the College Board for information on how to register for the SAT. The ACT no longer allows students under the age of 13 to register for their exam. Applicants under the age of 13 who want to submit these scores will have to take the SAT only.
