4 tips for parents and caregivers who want to go to college

|
Waukecha Wilkerson is a mom, a small business owner and a tutor when any one of her three kids is struggling with math homework.

She says being a student parent comes with its own unique challenges – challenges not every college is equipped to help with. "It's very easy to get lost in the shuffle on college campuses and it can be very confusing without proper advising."

They highlighted four things student parents and student caregivers should consider: Access to affordable childcare Overall cost, and timeline of tuition payments Availability of academic advising Flexible class scheduling |
