Stay informed and on track with this FREE quarterly newsletter customized to your child's year in school:
For the years leading up to and through college, College Parents of America has created a suite of tools to help parents navigate the overwhelming amount of information that exists online and in publication. From a glossary of terms used in education and finance, to a college search engine, to an e-newsletter that delivers information as it is needed in a child's academic career, the Parent Resource Center is your one-stop shop for the most useful and up-to-date information available to future and current college parents.
- College SearchWith over 3,000 colleges and universities in America , helping your child to find the right “fit” can be daunting! Use these online match-up services to narrow down the search, then, check out the sites and books listed below for valuable tips on visiting and selecting schools.
- Decade of DecisionsCollege Parents of America's Decade of Decisions helps take the worry and guesswork out of planning for your child's college and career — with important information, deadlines and suggestions delivered to you quarterly from the time your child enters 7th grade until he or she graduates from college.
- English-Spanish Translation of TermsThis guide was created by a workgroup of education, student financial aid, and Spanish language experts, who drew upon and reconciled preexisting glossaries to develop a single, easy-to-use reference tool that could facilitate the creation of more consistent Spanish-language materials about higher education and student financial aid.
- Financial Aid & ScholarshipsIt is possible for virtually every child in America to attend the college to which he/she is accepted – regardless of cost – but it requires research and effort to uncover the financial aid and scholarship options available.
