How Can I Help My Student Succeed?

• Help your child with homework and meet with teachers and counselors to discuss coursework that will prepare your child for college.
• Talk to your children about careers that interest them and what college they would like to attend.
• Research financial aid and Cal Grants.
• Schedule a teacher/parent conference if you have concerns about your child’s academics.
• Familiarize yourself with the services offered at your child’s school such as tutoring and other resources.
• Consider opening a college savings account. There are many benefits, and you can start an account for as little as $25. To learn more, go to ScholarShare.
• Contact the CSU campuses you are interested in to schedule a tour and get information about programs, admission requirements and financial aid.
