We all know that getting into and paying for college represent two very different challenges. But what if you could focus on factors that improve your odds of accomplishing both at the same time? For a surprising number of schools, you can! Amy and Mike invited educator Brian Eufinger to explain the role of test scores in college merit aid.

What are five things you will learn in this episode?

What's the difference between need-based aid and merit aid? Can people with incomes too high for need-based aid still qualify?
What are merit aid grids? How have they evolved over the last 20 years?
How much merit aid can students earn based on ACT, SAT, or PSAT scores?
Does every college offer merit aid based on test scores?
How can students maximize the chances of merit aid?
