SAT

The ease of getting a SAT scholarship for studying abroad can be very subjective because it varies country to country, university to university and even based on the applicant's academic profiles. Thus, if the university you are applying to offers a scholarship based on SAT, it will also look at your previous academic year's performance and your capabilities to do justice with your education abroad with the scholarship. 

Since Harvard University is a popular US university and also an Ivy League school, its requirements for admission are competititve. Also Harvard is a need based university, hence if applicants have a good acadeic background and get a SAT score around 1500 or above, they can expect to get a scholarship. There is no officially mentioned SAT cutoff, these scores mentioned are based on admission trends of the previous years. 

Known as the Scholastic Aptitude Test, SAT tested applicant's academic capability and ability to get into a college abroad. However, over time SAT evolved and it no longer only tests academic capabilities or aptitude for college admissions. Hence, College Board dropped the full form of SAT exam. Now, the exam is referred to as SAT only and without its full form use.
