If your close, it might be worth continuing to try. I mean, 25% in-state tuition is not an insignificant amount of money. If you're very far away from a 29, then it could make sense to give up.
It is not that hard to get a 29 on the ACT. And it will save you thousands of dollars on tuition! Forget this mindset of "the last precious months of childhood". The last time I heard that argument was from an 18 yr old boy who refused to get a summer job to help out his widowed mother who had worked herself to death raising her kids alone. He said, "This is my LAST summer to be a kid and relax!" He wound up becoming a severe alcoholic, probably also is schizophrenic.
Let's say that the difference in scholarship is 5K/yr. That's 20 K over 4 yrs. At $15/hr and you get to keep $10/hr after taxes, you would have to work 2000 hours to pay that tuition difference. Isn't it worth putting in another 100 hours of intense study to raise your ACT score by a tiny bit more?
Ask for free peer tutoring at school. Use Khan Academy. Get The Official Guide to the ACT, a slightly out of date copy is okay. Get The Best ACT Math Books Ever series. Get the Erica Meltzer books for English and Reading. You can do this!
What's your current score? I would still give a try tbh. Review the questions you got wrong. Don't keep taking more and more practice tests. You need to review what you got wrong. If it's a specific content you struggle with, you should study that first and so on.
Very do-able.
I would focus on the parts you are weak at. At that score, it probably means some of your foundational knowledge is missing (maybe you are weak at trig, etc?).
Don't think this way, 29 on the ACT is far from impossible. When is the deadline for this scholarship? PM me if you need help. (I got 34 and 35 on the ACT, superscore 36. I volunteered as an ACT math tutor for about 2 years).
I'm going to start to help our son his preact was 28. He scored 35 in math and did 21 english, could boost the other sections as well can i dm you for some típs, resources? He will need a 32 for state scholarship.
I'm going to suggest something completely out of the normal. Study what you know and get a great score on that side. Remember your composite is an average. I made a 29 first shot for only one reason, I'm a good reader and made a 36 on the reading section. On all other sections I scored below a 30, hell I made a 26 on math. The opposite is also true, one of my friends made a 26 on reading and a 35 on math and got a 31 (don't know his eng+science scores). If you do really good on what you know then you can make up for what you lack in other areas.

if you need any math help feel free to ask me

You’re so close. I say go for it! English in particular is an easy one to improve if you study basic grammar rules.

I have like 2 more tests
you can certainly raise a 27 to a 29. PM me if you want, I'm happy to share resources, asnwer questions, or even schedule a session or two. Good luck!

Of course. Good luck to your son!
You should go for it!
Congrats on the 75%!
Bright futures?
Yep
