If you’re ready to stop guessing and start strategically positioning your student for full-ride scholarships and top merit awards, you’re in the right place.

The Merit Money Method isn’t just another college admissions program — it’s a proven, purpose-driven roadmap that helps high-achieving students earn the scholarships they deserve while building a legacy that lasts.

But here’s the thing: we don’t work with just anyone.
We work with students and families who are serious about making college affordable — and life meaningful.

How the Application Process Works

We believe in working closely with families to ensure the right fit—for you, for your student, and for us. That’s why our application process is intentionally relational, not transactional.

  • We start with a one-on-one conversation with the parent or guardian. This gives us a chance to understand your family’s goals, values, and current college planning concerns. It also allows you to ask questions and explore whether our program aligns with your vision for your child’s future. If it feels like a good mutual fit, we move forward.

  • Next, we meet your student. We’re looking not just for academic drive, but for personality, curiosity, and coachability. This step is all about connection—we want to make sure we "vibe" and that the student feels comfortable and excited to work with us. Our process is personalized, and real progress only happens when trust and rapport are in place.

  • If your student is a good fit, we’ll reconnect with you for final enrollment details. At this point, we share tuition and walk through the next steps together. We only disclose tuition to families whose students have been admitted into the program—because we’re committed to maintaining a high-integrity, high-impact experience for every family we serve.

  • We know that for many middle-class families, it looks like everything is "covered" on paper. But we also know the reality: tight budgets, rising living costs, mortgage payments, multiple kids to support, and a deep desire to give your child every opportunity to succeed. That’s why, once admitted, we work with you to make tuition manageable—so finances don’t stand in the way of your student’s future.
