Parents play a huge role in scholarship success. You don’t have to write the essays — but your encouragement and structure make all the difference.
Start by setting up a shared calendar for deadlines. Help your teen stay organized without taking over.
Example: Sunday evening “scholarship check-ins” work wonders — just 15 minutes to review goals and deadlines together.
Celebrate every submission, not just the wins.
Quick Wins:
Print deadlines and post them on the fridge.
Proofread essays if asked — but don’t rewrite.
Keep track of award notifications together.
