Q. My daughter is graduating from High School next week. We are in the process of looking over her finances in order for her to decide which direction she should take as far as colleges go. I am a single parent of three children and do not have the financial means to give her much support. I was discussing my concerns about this with my friend and she remembered that your office had information in your Troubleshooter article last year. She also said that you had offered consumers a helpful brochure for college bound kids. Is that brochure still available through your office?

A. Yes it is and I’d be happy to send the 40 Money Management Tips Every College Student Should Know brochure out to you. While getting ready for college is exciting, it can also be overwhelming. There are definitely things you want to be careful of when seeking help through the process. There are many things to keep in mind including protecting your personal information and watching out for scholarship scams when setting up financial aid. It is also important to build good credit for yourself. Bucks County Consumer Protection found valuable information on what every college student should know and we would be happy to send this out to consumers who are interested in these tips. If you would like us to mail you a copy call 1-800-942-2669, and leave your name and address.
