The Parent University program model provides opportunities for our parents to institutionalize certain aspects of the scholarship acquisition process so that it becomes a part of their everyday interactions with their child. TSA will equip parents with the tools necessary to empower their children to successfully navigate the scholarship application process. We will introduce and support parents to use our new Parent Guide, resources such as our “10 Things You Can Tell Your Child About College” brochure and “The Truth About Financial Aid.”
