I can’t even begin to say how much they’ve done for my son and our family. It’s like I went to a specialist doctor instead of trying to treat the condition myself. Their expertise helped me understand exactly how to position my son—who has very different interests in STEM and liberal arts—into a compelling story for college. I had been struggling to figure this out for years. But with their help, it finally clicked.

We thought we had to wait until junior year to start the college process. Working with the Merit Money Method showed us that starting early is the best investment we could make. My daughter is now entering high school with confidence, clarity, and a plan—and we finally feel peace about the future.
