The starting point
Avila's merit anchor is one automatic, stats-based award — the Avila Achievement Scholarship of $25,000-$30,000/year set on GPA and ACT at the time of admission — at a small Catholic university where 100% of first-year students receive a scholarship or financial aid.
More than one award path. Some awards use published academic thresholds. Others have different selection criteria. A score chart does not describe every award at this school.

Avila Achievement Scholarship
$25,000 - $30,000 per year · Published range
Recorded as automatic on academic criteria; all conditions apply.
GPA: Based on cumulative GPA (specific tier cutoffs not published) · ACT: Based on ACT scores (specific tier cutoffs not published)
Eligibility: Traditional undergraduate (first-year) programs only; value determined at the time of admission to the University
Renewal: Page states 'All Avila financial aid is renewable as long as a student is enrolled full-time, meets renewal criteria, and/or continues to demonstrate financial need.' No specific renewal GPA is published.
Other terms: This is Avila's headline automatic merit award. The exact amount within the $25,000-$30,000 range is set by cumulative GPA and ACT scores; Avila does not publish a per-tier GPA/ACT grid on its official pages, so the precise figure is confirmed only in the financial-aid award letter. The award is for traditional undergraduate/transfer programs, not online, accelerated, or hybrid programs.
