Your kid’s in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade? It’s time to set him or her free to feel jazzed and excited about college. Plus — as a parent– learn 8 things you can do right now to keep that kid’s future college costs low.
I’ll be covering all this in this free live event in Minneapolis tonight, January 10th, 2017.
Give your middle schooler (or high schooler!) a huge jumpstart on college. Bring the kids and join me tonight for a free live event sponsored by Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis.
I’ll be covering these important topics:
- How can kids as young as 12 create one great scholarship application essay, and then use that same essay over and over again to apply for college scholarships, from middle school all the way through high school and college?
- How can we motivate middle schoolers to want to apply for college scholarships?
- Why is it a brilliant idea for kids as young as 14 to keep track of all of their service work on LinkedIn.com?
- What are the names of the three career assessments that are so important for 10th graders? Where can students take these assessments inexpensively?
- Why is “follow your passion” the worst career advice ever?
- How do co-op college programs provide students with fantastic amounts of work experience — while at the same time providing wealthy families with lucrative, money-saving tax shelters?
- What’s the #1 best way to ensure that a student has a list of killer, fantastic accomplishments on his or her resume before ever graduating from college?
- How is caring deeply about others the “secret sauce” that leads to the ultimate fulfilled life, regardless of your income level?
