If you snooze, you lose. Now is the time to find a
summer enrichment course for your elementary, middle and/or high school student.
Colleges have made their plans. Now it’s time to make yours. Families who do
the research, and find summer enrichment courses for their children in colleges and
universities will end up paying less for college. Yes, that’s
right. Scholarships are awarded to students who have taken college enrichment
courses at a much higher rate than those who have not.
Last week I received a catalogue in the mail from my
local community college. It was entitled College for Kids. It contains over 40
pages of courses aimed at children from 3 to 18. There are classes for every
type of child, and dozens of subjects. These programs exist in universities too. Just look online. These programs look fabulous on college
and scholarship applications.
The prices range from not very much to lots more, but
they’re nowhere near what college courses will run after high school
graduation. But if you don’t want or can’t spend money right now, there are
free programs at many colleges and universities. Greenlight has a list of
hundreds of free college courses for summer 2018 at, Summer Programs with Financial Aid. Check them out, find what your child will enjoy, apply. These classes will add the most
important item to his/her college scholarship application, summer college
enrichment courses.
