College Readiness: Parent Conversations

Parents and other adult family members of first generation college students are often unfamiliar with the college application and financial aid process that their students face. Through this series of five separate informal, interactive conversations, ISAC’s parent outreach coordinators will address the core elements of the US educational system; discuss strategies for career exploration; discuss and explain the different types of postsecondary institutions; provide a general overview of the financial aid process and terminology; and how those who may be new to the college-going process can support their student with their postsecondary plans.
