Dawson Community College SAT Scores, ACT Scores, Acceptance Rate, and Admissions Requirements
Dawson’s published scholarship information does not turn SAT or ACT points into guaranteed merit dollars, which is important to know before you set a testing goal. With tuition already low for a public college, your strategy should focus on meeting any program or placement requirements and using scholarships to reduce your final cost.

If you plan to submit SAT or ACT scores for a Dawson program or another college that uses them, take your first test by the spring of junior year so summer and fall are available for retakes and superscoring. Dawson’s December 1 financial aid priority deadline and the Gianforte Trade and Technology Scholarship listing do not include specific SAT or ACT score requirements, so do not base your testing plan on those aid dates.
