ACT/SAT TEST REQUIREMENTS
Assembly Bill 150 passed by the 2015 Nevada Legislature extended eligibility for the Governor Guinn
Millennium Scholarship to students who do not meet the minimum grade point average requirement,
but who do receive a qualified score on a college entrance examination approved by the Nevada Board
of Regents. A qualified test score must have been achieved while the student was enrolled as a pupil in
a public or private high school in Nevada.
For the Class of 2016 and beyond, the Nevada Board of Regents established the minimum score on a
college entrance examination as follows:
SAT:
Students who take the SAT test before March, 2016:
• Must obtain a combined reading and math SAT score of 990 or higher
Students who take the SAT test on or after March, 2016:
• Must obtain a combined reading, writing and math SAT score of 1070 or higher
ACT:
The ACT composite score is the average of the student’s scores on the four subject tests, as computed
by ACT.
• Students must obtain a composite score of 21 or higher on the ACT Exam.
Please note that AB 150 only applies to those students who graduate in the Class of 2016 and beyond
who meet all of the eligibility requirements except completing high school with at least a 3.25 grade
point average calculated using all high school credit granting courses.
Students must still meet all of the following requirements:
1. Graduate with a diploma from a Nevada public or private high school; (However, students who are
homeschooled may also be eligible, and should contact the State Treasurer’s Office for more
information.)
2. Pass all areas of the Nevada High School Proficiency Examination (required for all classes prior to the
class of 2017);
3. Have been a resident of Nevada for at least two years of high school; and
4. Complete the minimum core curriculum requirements which include 4 units of English, 4 units of
Math including Algebra II or higher, 3 units of Science and 3 units of Social Studies.
High schools are still required to submit a list of the eligible students to the State Treasurer’s Office.
Students who believe they have been excluded from the list of eligible students but meet the
requirements above, should contact their high school.
