Episode 17 - Merit Aid: Your Teen's Best Part-Time Job

Update: 2023-04-24

Description

Merit aid is the best tool you have to reduce the cost of college, and it expands options you didn't know existed. It's also one of the least understood pieces of the college admissions process, so here's a quick introduction into what it is, where to find it, and how to lower costs by turning in your homework.

This is part 2 of a 3-part series on College + Money and just like episode 16 "College Costs Simplified", you'll find a condensed version with all links and graphics on our blog.

I'm proud to report that Tom Talks College was just named to the 15 Best College Planning Podcasts by FeedSpot. Thank you, loyal listeners!
