Stay informed and on track with this FREE quarterly newsletter customized to your child's year in school:
If you are the parent of a college student, you know the cost of higher education is not limited to tuition. If your child has not yet started college … well, the added cost of travel, school supplies and general living expenses may come as an unwelcome surprise.
That’s why College Parents of America has begun (and continues) to forge partnerships with select companies – to provide our members with valuable discounts, deals and special offers on products and services necessary in the years prior to and during college.
