Families often focus on GPA and test scores when it comes to scholarships—but there’s another powerful lever: your student’s college major.

In this live panel event, master career coach Lisa Marker-Robbins and scholarship strategist Dave Peterson explain how students who make intentional, well-informed college major choices can unlock more merit-based and private scholarship opportunities—and how to jump-start the process so you don’t leave money on the table.

You’ll also hear insights from our moderator, Mike Bergin, host of the Tests and the Rest podcast, as we discuss:

✔️ How early career exploration improves both college applications and scholarship outcomes

✔️ What scholarship committees are really looking for—and how your teen can stand out

✔️ When and how to begin the process before deadlines sneak up

✔️ Real stories of students who aligned their goals and earned more aid

Whether your teen is unsure about their major or already has a goal in mind, this session will help you uncover new financial opportunities you may be missing.
