Hiring a test prep tutor might just be the best investment you can make toward a college education. It may seem like a large investment, but the return you receive on the investment can be astronomical.

Consider this:

• You pay $100 an hour for 5 hours for a test prep tutor = $500
• Your student scores as well or better than the state index and qualifies as a National Merit semi-finalist
• Colleges who have money set aside for the finalists will use merit aid to entice your student to attend: full tuition, room and board, books and fees, laptops, study abroad and even spending money.
• Your student receives a full-ride scholarship for thousands of dollars
