The Founder of Road2College, Debbie Schwartz, explains how to find colleges offering generous merit to hopefully reduce the cost of your student’s college education.

I ran Net Price Calculators at a number of colleges with my child’s first SAT score and got modest merit estimates. Their score went up 140 points the second time and I reran the NPCs - the merit went up and in one case, where there was no merit the first time, there was with the higher test score. It’s a good way to get some insight about merit on an individual basis.
