The first step in winning college scholarships

If you want your teen to win a scholarship for college, then you'll want to encourage your teen to get him or herself ready as early as possible. Yes, high school is the time to prepare for college. Getting good grades is important. Developing his talent or leadership skills is also important. But the very first thing that parents must establish in their teen is simply the desire to go to college. Wanting to go is the first step to prepare for college.

Many teens, upon entering high school, are overwhelmed by the tougher classes, the larger campus, and the many social opportunities suddenly available to them during the high school years. Thinking ahead to college may be the farthest thing from their minds. And yet it is vital for parents to get their teen to start thinking seriously about college as early as eighth and ninth grades.

Looking forward to college will do several things for your teen's high school years:

1. Your teen will see a reason for taking the hard courses.

Why should a student want to take Advanced Math when he could slide by with Consumer Math instead? Both meet the requirement for graduation from high school. When one is tough and the other much easier, why should he bother to take the harder course? Because he will be better prepared for college. If the teen is already on board mentally with attending college, then he will see a reason to tackle the tougher classes. In other words, he understands that he must prepare for college.

2. Your teen will be motivated to get good grades in high school.

If the goal is college, and not just getting through high school, then your teen will understand why getting an A is far more preferable then getting a C. Yes, a C will help him pass the course. It's all he needs for getting by and receiving that high school diploma. But getting a C will lessen his ability to get into the college of his choosing. If you want him to work for that A, then he must be motivated to work for it. If he is on board to prepare for college, then he will push himself harder to get those good grades.

3. Your teen will be motivated to make better life choices.

A teen who sees high school as a stepping stone to college and a career is more likely to make better choices. Looking ahead to the future is a great motivator to keep oneself out of trouble. On the other hand, if one is living just for today, or for this year, then one is more likely to choose to party than to study.

4. Your teen will be faced with choices that will mature him.

The adult world is full of choices that require us to work today for a future reward. Children, on the other hand, usually need immediate rewards for good behavior. The teenager is moving from the world of children into adulthood, and it's time for him to learn to work now for a future reward. Adults realize that it's important to save money toward the downpayment on a house, for example. When do adults develop this ability to save now and receive later? The teen years are the perfect time. If your teen is working to prepare for college, rather than just get by during high school, then he will be practicing this principle on a regular basis. He will be maturing into a responsible adult.

We parents hope that our teens will do well enough to get those college scholarships. It all begins with the desire to go to college. Once your teen desires college, then he will be on board to prepare for college - and to do what it takes to win college scholarships!
