If you anticipate your kids leaving for college will leave you with a pit in your stomach that rivals the Grand Canyon, you are not alone. The bigger issue is how you are going to manage this severe melancholy and move forward in a positive and productive way. You wouldn’t want your kids to be so forlorn, so why should YOU give in to those feelings?

The ever-popular game show is good entertainment, but knowing that your kid might be in “Merit Scholarship Jeopardy” is not.
Many high-achieving high schoolers who worked so hard to earn that merit $$ (and boy, would it help with tuition), find that keeping up the grades once in college isn’t all that easy.
How do they prevent losing those merit scholarships due to their GPA not meeting the threshold? There are great tips here on how to compare merit scholarships and how to prevent losing them. |

New Calculator Plans 4 Years of College Costs
Quatromoney is a revolutionary new platform with a new calculator that’s designed to help families make all 4 years of college costs more manageable in advance. In our efforts to bring you anything and everything that might help make the college funding process easier, we would like to ask you to review their calculator and fill out a survey about it, to let them know what they are doing right, and what they can work on. Once you have watched the video (it’s short, we promise, but it’s easier to click and view it in YouTube) and filled out the survey, your name will be entered in a drawing to win a $500 Amazon gift card. Click here to fill out the survey. We so appreciate your time and feedback.

“The College List Drives Everything”
It's such a simple phrase yet it means so much and it was the inspiration for our 5 Day Build The Perfect College List Challenge last year.
We had so much fun offering that Challenge and we had such great feedback, we're doing it again!
The 2020 “Build the Perfect College List” Challenge will start January 26 and run through January 30, 2020.
If you're the parent of a 10th or 11th brainer, you won't want to miss this! In this 5-day challenge, I've partnered with Russ Vitale (of Destination College Success), to teach you how to create an awesome list in just 5 days.
There is a small fee (just $9.99) because we want to make sure you're committed to showing up and putting in the work.
And your fee won’t go to waste! You can use it as a credit towards any Road2College product or service in the future (and we've got some good deals for you coming up).
Want day-by-day program details? Head here to learn what you can expect during each day of the challenge... and where you'll be when it's all said and done.
