What happens if I change my mind?

How do I help my child navigate the post-secondary world?What does the college application process look and feel like?What scholarships are available to my child?How will we pay for college?Where can I get help on the FAFSA?There are things that have to be done in the summer time?

What is dual enrollment, direct credit, articulated credit?Is my child eligible for those opportunities?What classes should my child take in high school?Why is a job shadow/OJT/work experience so important?Attendance is important?

I’m not worried, they’ll figure it out.
