CSLF to Launch Parent College Planning E-Tips
Beginning fall 2008, the Connecticut Student Loan Foundation will be offering online monthly college planning tips for parents. We will offer e-subscriptions to parents of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Each edition will cover timely information targeted to parents of students by grade level. For instance, junior parents will receive tips on how to plan a college visit, advice on how to assist in the college search, and reminders of when students should begin registering for admissions tests. Parents of seniors will receive tips on how to assist students with the college application process and information on financial aid. This is an exciting new endeavor. Parents interested in receiving this Parent College Planning E-Tips can sign up online at www.cslf.com.
