The 4 Pillars of College Parents of America
The quantity of information, facts, research and data available today is overwhelming. Our goal is to translate this information into practical insight and useful tools that enable parents to make the best decisions for their student and family. Our National Advisory Board is comprised of educators, administrators and business leaders in academic fields with significant experience in serving college students and families. Their knowledge and our ability to identify and analyze the most relevant trends and information allow us to deliver meaningful insight to our members.
College Parents of America has formed valuable partnerships and secured strategic resources that will support our members through the successful navigation of college. From the admissions process to graduation and beyond, we provide the tools to help our members choose the best course for their student and family. We have also created a Parent 2 Parent - forum just for you. This allows parents to connect with each other to discuss important issues or to share their insights and opportunities. Lastly, College Parents of America advocates for students and families locally and nationally regarding issues of student success.
College Parents of America understands that parents have many concerns about the protection of their student and the substantial investment that they’re making in their college education. That’s why we have created a partnership with GradGuardTM with insurance offerings specifically designed to address the risks college students and their families. Our members have access to this portfolio of products that provides tuition reimbursement insurance in the event of an unplanned, involuntary medical withdrawal school. The GradGuardTM Student Protection PlanTM also offers additional coverage for identity theft, student health, renters, and damage to personal computers. The protection provided by this coverage gives our members the security and confidence they need, and helps to mitigate the financial harm that could otherwise interrupt a students college education.
We recognize that success is not just getting in to the college of choice. It’s more than just walking off the stage with a diploma in hand. Success is personal growth and achievement. The successful college experience is marked by four sequenced phases – preparation, transition, adjustment, and completion. While each of these steps involves academic achievement, the student must also have personal growth, independence, and clarity for the future for the investment in school to have been a success. With the insight, support and protection provided by College Parents of America, parents are enabled to support their students are a successful college experience and for most, to a path for becoming self-reliant and financially independent.
