My Kids Want To Go To College, But How Will We Afford It? #ForTheDream

February 3, 2016 in Sponsored

This is part of a sponsored campaign with DiMe Media and Coca-Cola. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

Even though we didn’t have money saved up for my college education, I was always encouraged by my family to go and get an education. There was financial aid available and yes, I went to school mostly on school loans. As my kids grow up, my husband and I believe it is so important for our kids to have the ability to go to college. And part of that will be scholarships, we hope! As a family with Latino background, family is important and we will do our best to help our children succeed. Even though our kids are still young, my husband and I are starting to devise a plan.

kids

Autumn wants to be a geologist or a medical scientist, while Carter wants to be a teacher. Our exchange student Jelly wants to be an engineer, while little Lola wants to be a veterinarian. Our kids all have big dreams, just like my husband and I did when we were younger…like we all do.

Coca-Cola understands the importance Hispanic families place on education and is coming together again with the Hispanic Scholarship Fund to help Latino students achieve their higher education dreams and become future leaders. Coca-Cola is proud to continue a long-standing relationship of 35-years with HSF, the nation’s largest not-for-profit organization supporting Hispanic American higher education, helping Hispanic families prepare, plan and pay for college.

Coca-Cola’s #ForTheDream program empowers Hispanic families to prepare, plan and pay for their teen’s college education, and inspires Hispanic students to pursue their higher education dreams and become future leaders.

Although college enrollment has increased tremendously during the past two decades, this population lags behind other groups when it comes degrees earned. This might be fueled by financial pressure for some students to support their families before graduation. As part of its commitment to the Hispanic community, Coca-Cola HSF #ForTheDream National Scholarship Program aims to empower Hispanic families to put their teens in the fast track to higher education.

Coca-Cola is donating $150,000 to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund to be awarded in college scholarships to qualifying students. Applications are being accepted until March 30th, 2016. Go to coke.com/ForTheDream to submit your application. Encourage your children! Encourage your friends!

While I know we still have a few years before our kiddos head off to college, we do have confidence that programs like #ForTheDream exist to help our children succeed. As Latinos, we take pride in our children’s educational success.

    Coca-Cola is doing this. I also have the same hopes for my kids. My second oldest is in the 11th grade and just got inducted into the National Honors Society at her school. She plays softball is a majorette for the school band, she mentors freshmen and is my Assistant cheer Coach in the fall for the local youth football league. My hopes is that she gets enough scholarships to go anywhere her hear desires!

    College is very important, as a mother of four, one son got a grant and student loans, another went into the Navy and is now going to college through the GI Bill, another is still thinking about and my youngest will start at the community college next month. He wants to go to a private college but decided it was too expensive at this time and will start of in a different field and save to go to his dream college. I am sure there are many ways to go to college, but it is getting very hard to find a way to pay for college and not owe a huge debt. Good luck with your kids.

    I agree with you about College – both my husband and my families were supportive of us going to college.
    I would think it would be a strong positive to use your Hispanic minority background to your advantage in qualifying for college aid. It is very smart of you and your husband to start early on funding for this, including searching for ways to do so.

We’re so grateful that they qualified for many scholarships, but college is extremely expensive. Every scholarship helps!

    I definitely think college is important, but I also think getting out of college with no debt is really important. My husband and I both took out a lot of student loans to go to school, and we are still paying them off…a long time after graduation. Our kids are still very little, but our state offers dual enrollment in high school with the community college. I hope that they take that opportunity, to help knock out some of the credits they will need when they get to college!
