Mom & Dad’s of
High School Students Who are Planning to Attend College
Attending college is becoming more and more financially challenging for middle-class families. Nine out of ten college freshman think they will earn their Bachelor’s degree within the traditional four years, according to a nationwide survey conducted by the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA. But the United States Department of Education reports, fewer than half that many, actually will. Forty-five percent will not finish even after six years. This means too many students and families often overlook the enormous additional expense of the extra time to graduate.
Borrowing money or college student loans are out of control. Too many college students are thousands and thousands of dollars in debt after graduation. Many college students are in their 40s before they finish paying off college debt.
If you have a son or daughter in high school and they are planning on going to college, you must start understanding and learning the college process. Do not wait until your student is a junior or senior in high school.
Families need to understand student exposure and what is necessary to make your students profile more attractive to college FAOs and if your student is searching for an athletic scholarship their profile needs to be attractive to coaches. How much do you know about scholarships for academic and athletic students, grants, endowments, financial aid, student loans and the entire college process?
Learning and understanding the college process is a necessity. For example, you must know what FAO, FO, COA, FAFSA, EFC, NCAA rules and requirements all mean? You need a college action plan!
