The support you give your child in helping them prepare for college can be critical to their motivation and success. By showing them the confidence and willingness to help them through this exciting process, you will greatly strengthen your high school student's desire to strive for and achieve a college education.

As part of DC-CAP's effort to support students and their families, you'll find information here including a year-by-year planning guide for parents, special information for non-U.S. citizen parents, parents of those students in special education programs and other important tips for parents as they support their child through college.
