Yes, you probably saw a few things that were above your head. There's a reason you didn't go to Harvard.
But to score less than a 26, you would need to not know a pretty decent amount on the ACT. And to earn a merit based scholarship, you should probably have to work hard enough to at least know a moderate amount of information required by the ACT.
I made A's in every math class in HS, typically acing every test given and despite taking the ACT four times, never made above a 23 in the math section. I took it that many times because I needed a minimum 25 in that section to qualify for the Air Force Academy.
My HS offered the following math courses for "college-prep" students: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Advanced Math. The Advanced Math class was really a joke (taught by our football coach).

That sounds like a you problem. If you want full tuition, you might have to do a modicum of preparation outside of school.

That was HS curriculoum.
College prep was Calculus.

Look, I hear you on the math section. It was my worst by far. But this isn't a "get a 26 in math or no TOPS for you" situation.
Got a 23 in math? No problem. Excel in other areas and you've easily got a 26 composite.
Also, your high school's "college prep" is what my high school called "remedial math"

So what? None of this means the state should foot the bill for your school's failings. Are you a Bernie supporter? If not, then you should agree with what is happening.
I got a 1400+ on the old SATs and had a 3.0 in HS, I paid my way through college on student loans and part time jobs. Why? Because the people getting scholarships were scoring 1400 with 4.0 GPAs. It was fair.
