TIP OF THE WEEK - August 3, 2009

As a parent of a college-bound student, make sure you:

* Offer help and support in the application process… but don’t micromanage or impose when you’re told to back off.

* Spell out your family budgetary constraints from the get-go… but expect to work together in looking for strategies to increase your financial aid.

* Listen and advise when problems arise… and at the same time, encourage your student to find their own solutions, enlisting resources on campus.

Hope you found our "Tip of the Week" to be informative and helpful.

Until next week...
