The Seattle Pacific University In-State Matching Merit Scholarship is Seattle Pacific's commitment to give high-achieving students a nationally ranked, private education - at a public school cost. Qualifying students' SPU tuition and fees will be equal to or less than that of their home state's flagship public university. Students must have a 3.7-3.89 GPA (unweighted) and test scores (SAT 1270 and above or ACT 27 and above) or a 3.9-4.0 GPA (unweighted). As a part of the application to SPU, students must submit one essay and answer one SPU writing prompt. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
