The Online Course to Take Before College


You’ve just been accepted…
to the college of your dreams! Before classes begin, you’ll want to understand how to navigate your new world. Your parents have saved and prepared for you to leave home, and now it’s your turn to finalize the groundwork they have set. This educational course will give you the knowledge and skills to begin your new life. Each lesson will guide you through a combination of video examples, web links, downloadable forms and action items that will get you ready to go. And if you still have questions when you are done, you can schedule a one-hour virtual conversation with Your Financial Mom.
