Episode Details

College costs are skyrocketing, but merit scholarships can be your secret weapon—free money you don’t have to pay back. Focus on schools where your grades put you in the top 25% of applicants, as that’s where big scholarship offers land. While Ivies lean into need-based aid, other strong universities reward academic excellence with serious cash. One student saved nearly $100K over four years at Pace; another used those savings to fund grad school. If you’ve got the grades, don’t assume loans are your only option—dig deep, use net price calculators, and turn merit scholarships into your tuition discount.
