Parent Tips

1. Sign up for your school's newsletter to be informed of college fairs, FAFSA Nights and other events relating to college.

2. When you and your child are talking to a college representative at a college fair, be sure to let your child do the talking and just listen.

3. Take your child to visit colleges when classes are in session; high schools give the students a certain amount of college visit days that count as excused absences.

4. Your employer may offer scholarships for your child so be sure to ask.

5. Stay involved by talking to your child about college plans every year, keeping an eye on your child’s study habits and grades, and encouraging your child to take challenging classes.

6. Contact your local GO Center with any questions.
