My mistake—DD is Dear Daughter. You have a DS, Dear Son.

Richmond and Fordham have merit money. Fordham has some guaranteed merit. You should go to the NPC, enter your sins stats and enter a big income like 500,000 and that will give you the guaranteed merit for him. He could get more, but that’s guaranteed.

But all of your schools except for UC-Boulder ask for PROFILE, and though you should give the waiver a try, you should not count on it.

What can you pay? That is key here. How much you can commit each year for your son’s college.

You can then run NPCs for schools that ask for FAFSA only, and see what kind of aid your son can expect. Your state schools are a good bet, most of the time.

As for merit money, your son’s stats, courses taken, are going to drive those possibilities. Large merit awards are hard to get. If you give his stats, and what you can pay, folks here can give you some good merit possibilities
