[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would suggest studying hard for the PSAT. So many scholarships and a lot of merit is determined by the PSAT score. Most people seem to be unaware of all the possibilities that are unlocked by a high PSAT score. It's like a life hack for informed families. Do well on the PSAT and money and opportunities follow. [/quote] +1. As the kid discussed in the OP might be potentially high-scoring, they should prep next summer for a fall junior year SAT (usually Aug), which also preps them for the PSAT at the same time. He'd need to score very high, but National Merit would be the goal. Also may need to temper the number of Cs in high school, though I'm not sure what the GPA criteria are. OP, check out these examples of large packages for National Merit: https://afford.ua.edu/scholarships/national-merit/ https://utulsa.edu/tuition-aid/scholarships/nmsf/[/quote]
