Tips for Parents
Don't wait until summer to begin thinking about and planning for college. The college search begins now. Your child's early high school years can be very important to college admission. Here are some things you can do now.
- Talk with your student's school counselor about AP and Honors course options. If these are not options, encourage your student to enroll in an appropriate community college course. These courses introduce your student to the kind of academic rigor they can expect in college and can demonstrate ability and initiative on college applications.
- Remind your student to focus on studies. Colleges often decide on applicants based on the grades they make during their junior year.
- Visit the National Association of College Admission Counselors website for some excellent articles about the college process.
- Check out scholarships. Search the Internet (FASTWEB or www.studentscholarshipsearch.com). Many scholarships are available to juniors.
