Parents
Do you have a student or graduate who is preparing to leave the nest? What can you do to support your children in their first big decisions after high school and college? How can you help them achieve their goals, without getting in the way? How do you understand what is going through their heads, and still help them focus on what they really want for the future?
There are many ways that you and your children can benefit from Where’s the Map? Create Your OWN Guide to Life after Graduation. Here is how it can serve you as a parent:
1. Gifts for Graduates
Are you looking for a unique gift to give your graduate? Perhaps you have other family members, friends or neighbors who are looking for an inexpensive way to support the grad on their big day? Share the idea of buying a copy of Where’s the Map? Create your OWN Guide to Life after Graduation to ensure that your child has this tool before they go off to college or enter the workforce.

4. Gap Year Scholarships for Graduates
Do you know a student who isn’t quite ready for college? Maybe he or she needs a chance to get some real-world experience in an internship, to travel to another country, to participate in a leadership program, or to volunteer for a year with Habitat for Humanity. There are many other countries who are promoting the idea of a Gap Year between high school and college, to give graduates a chance to grow up a little more and develop their focus. The United States is coming on-board with this idea of the Gap Year, and an increasing number of colleges and employers see value in this time of exploration in a young person’s development. Inspiration Publications Inc. is offering multiple Gap Year Scholarships to the winners of our scholarship essay contest. Students can register for the scholarship on our website.
