Gift Ideas to Help Students Be Successful and Win More Scholarships




Often when meeting parents at Back to School Night, they asked me what books they could give their children for Christmas, Hanukkah or on their birthdays to help them be more successful. I loved this question, and created a list of gift ideas. Here’s the list and the appropriate age for each book:


1.   Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey – Age 13

  1. This is an excellent list of books! I would add "The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous and Broke" for new graduates, especially when they are graduating from college. It will help them avoid many financial mistakes.
