How about spending your child’s college savings on something other than college?

University

It might be a good idea.

University

It is a wonderful thing to be able to provide our offspring with a college education. Also, regularly putting money away for 18 years for that very purpose is a wise thing to do. However, wouldn’t it make more sense before giving it to a college to keep the money in the bank until you’re sure that your child really is a serious college candidate?

I see nothing that violates scriptural principles if parents make higher education on their dime contingent on their child’s true desire for higher learning. And also that said child has a track record for following through with what they start. Your child’s college tuition money may be better funneled toward a business of their own that may require no college at all.

Shepherds Hill Academy: Transforming Lives, Transforming Culture

Endorsements

"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
