Re: How about a child going to college soon thread?
If we declined it, we would be required to pay that amount upfront (over $6500) or in monthly installments. There is no way we could do that because even with the scholarships, work study, student loans and this parent loan, we have a monthly payment of over $400.

Re: How about a child going to college soon thread?
I didn't realize they made you pay that up front. I hope that's not the case for us. They gave us an efc number but then gave him financial aid above and beyond the cost of everything. We plan to decline the parent loans and he'll just work to make up the difference. He did not receive any work study.

Re: How about a child going to college soon thread?
I sat down with ds this afternoon. He is planning to stay on campus rather than with grandpa. I think this is a good choice, but I still hear Dave Ramsey telling me to encourage him to do the cheapest option!
He will have to work 30 hours a week. I hope that is doable for him. He did it last semester with 4 classes at the cc, but I know they were easy classes compared to what he'll be doing next year.

I think it will depend on which classes, how many credits, and how much homework a particular teacher assigns. All kids are different on what they can do plus he will have to fend for himself. Will he go ahead to find a job if he wasn't offered work study? The great part of work study is that they have to work around your classes At my college I did a ton of pet sitting, house sitting, baby sitting and what was called "sub parenting" (which is babysitting for a week at a time while people go on vacation). Of course, I had access to my sister's car so it was easier. But we had a job board as people were searching for college students all the time.

Re: How about a child going to college soon thread?
I did math tutoring. I worked for the EOP (equal opportunity placement, I think) tutoring disadvantaged freshmen and also used the job board to get some jobs tutoring children.

Re: How about a child going to college soon thread?
It sounds like a lot to me too, but he does do SO MUCH better when he's busy. He procrastinates way less when his schedule is full. So it could be a good thing.
He works at Starbucks now, and he's hoping to transfer to the one closest to his school. We'll see if that is possible. I'm not sure when he should start asking. ---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ---------- He wants to be an accountant, so I will definitely encourage him to look for opportunities in the university's business office!

My daughter just did a transfer for a promotion at Starbucks. She also just got home from work and her transfer happens March 7th . So I asked her -- She is saying tell the current manager a few months ahead of time he is going to college in the fall. Get help from that manager. He may be asked to contact the starbucks he wants to transfer to and meet with that manager as well.. it will depend on his manager and how much work the manager wants to do. There is a handout they gave her and she had to do the footwork. Some starbucks will let you work there during the year, work at home on breaks, etc. A continuous cycle of home/school. Once her transfer/promotion was "casually approved" by both managers, they gave her a hand out and she had paperwork online to complete. her transfer/paperwork took a total of a month. (she can now see her last day at her current store and her new schedule). BOTH managers need to approve. Feel free to PM if he needs more info.

Re: How about a child going to college soon thread?
Thanks for the info! I wonder if it'll be harder since they two stores are 4 hours away? That would be awesome if he could come home and work on holidays!!!
I am pretty sure his current manager knows he hopes to go away to college in the fall. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

If the manager knows he’s going to college, I’d start gathering info. It’s possible that every district/region is run differently. It’s worth asking if he could work on holiday breaks . Is he aware of the ASU tuition reimbursement program ... not to throw a wrench in plans

Re: How about a child going to college soon thread?
DS got 45% off tuition and also gets the Palmetto Life Scholarship which gives I think $5,000/yr.
Those are a huge help on tuition but that room and board is SO much! He's working on more scholarships.
