About This List

Todd Fothergill knows his stuff. He's an expert on financial aid and educational consultant based in New Hampshire. We asked him which schools would give generous merit aid to students starting with a B+ average and a combined Critical Reading/Math SAT score of 1150 or higher. These schools made the cut.
