4-Year College Planning Toolkit

College planning can feel like a maze of scattered advice, shifting timelines, and high-stakes decisions. This toolkit brings clarity to the process by offering a curated set of resources designed specifically for parents. It includes 11 worksheets, checklists, and planning templates that help you stay organized, informed, and confident as your child moves through each stage of high school.
 
These tools are practical, easy to use, and intentionally structured to support thoughtful decision-making. You’ll find guidance on course selection, extracurricular tracking, application planning, and financial prep, all in one place. Each resource encourages parent-child collaboration, realistic pacing, and clear communication to make the college planning process less stressful (and more organized).
 
This toolkit was created to simplify the journey and support families who want to engage with college planning in a way that feels manageable and meaningful. It’s about helping you show up with clarity, purpose, and a sense of calm in a process that often feels anything but.
