Planning for college is an effort that pays off... Start planning now!
MyTeenBiz is here to help you with college preparation and guidance with the financial aid and application process.
Most parents expect their kids to go to college, and most students have the same goal. But they are not necessarily taking the practical steps to get there.
Counselors, colleges and organizations like the National Association for College Admission Counseling emphasize that parents and students should start planning for college no later than middle school. Their reasoning is simple:
- Students need strong preparation in middle school to take the high school classes that colleges require.
- Parents need to do homework to make college affordable for your family. There are lots of options to cut college costs — scholarships, low-interest loans, work-study, spending the first two years at a community college — but it takes time to research them and get the information you need to meet application deadlines.
Build a foundation for college success, starting long BEFORE your senior year!
