Free College Education

Want Your Child to Have a Free College Education?

College expenses are not getting cheaper. Students and graduates have more debt today than every before in history. There is an answer to this expanding problem, however. You children need to earn scholarships.

For those who are thinking that this is wonderful advice for parents of perfect kids, or parents of certain socio-economic, genders, or races, Norma Richards has some advice for you.

Richards is a black woman with six black children. Three of them had been labeled: ADHD, special education, and a third was legally blind by middle school. These were not perfect kids in a perfect family that had a "silver spoon" background.

What Richards did have was a background in education, a supportive husband, and forethought. She knew she would have to help at least three of the six through

college and needed to be proactive. According to EurWeb, she was quite successful as "those three siblings, two daughters, and a son have each earned engineering degrees at well-known universities on full academic scholarships."
Richards now wants to share the secrets of her success with other parents through a guidebook titled "Free Ride to College".

The guide shows parents and high school students how to prepare and position yourself for scholarships and grants.

“I have saved close to half a million dollars in college expenses. Now that I have an empty nest, I am on a mission to help other families achieve free rides to college too," Richardson says.

Richardson talks about the types of things a student should be doing before their Junior year. Things like community service, test prep, and preparing strong admission essays. She also highlights things that need to take place before high school. EurWeb reminds us that "research shows that literacy by fourth grade is an indicator for high school completion, among other things; black children have significantly lagged behind their white counterparts on national reading measures for years."

Richardson addressed this with her children by getting them involved in library reading programs during the summers, labeling household objects to increase vocabulary, rewarding her children for success, and the

like.
“As a parent, I took responsibility for my child’s education and saw school as a supplement. I didn’t home-school them, but I made sure they were constantly learning…and I made learning fun from the beginning,” she said.
If you have children who are college bound, this guide provides excellent advice from somebody who has truly "been there, done that", and done so quite successfully.
