The SAT is Coming
Merit aid is often awarded based on GPA and test scores. Significantly changing your GPA is challenging, especially if you’re already a junior. So knocking it out of the park on the SAT or ACT is one of the best quick-fixes around for increasing your chances of receiving merit aid.
With spring test dates approaching, now is the time to look at preparing for the tests. A test prep course can be one of the best investments a family can make because a bump in your student’s test scores can translate into thousands of dollars of financial aid. Your high school’s college counseling center should be able to recommend a test prep plan or course that’s appropriate for your student’s academic needs and your family’s budget.
