The short version
- Talk in ranges, not exact numbers.
- Share what each person can do to prepare.
- Write down questions for a counselor.
Conversation starters
- What kinds of schools are we curious about?
- What do we already know about grants?
- Who will gather which records?
Keep it practical
Focus on the steps rather than the outcome. Nobody can know the final result until offers arrive.
Questions for a counselor
- Which state programs apply to us?
- When should we start the forms?
- Are there local workshops?
Revisit each year
Plans change. A short check-in once a year keeps everyone up to date.
