5 Creative Ways To Raise Some Money To Send Your Child Back To College

Hard to believe it’s the end of the summer and it’s getting near the time for kids to head back to college. Here are a few ways to save or generate some cash to help your child before they return:


1. Host A College Shower. Showers are popular for babies and weddings to help the new mom or upcoming bride so why not for college kids. Invite friends and relatives over to help celebrate your child’s return to college but make a shower out of it. Provide a list of things your child may need: comforter, socks, toiletries, towels, alarm clock, food and snacks. This will help you fray some of the cost of having to buy everything your child needs for college.

2. Garage Sale. Have an end of summer yard sale and use the funds to help pay for your child’s books or other college related items.

3. Greeting Cards. Have your child create some really cool greeting cards to sale to relatives, friends and others. I had my son do this once to help raise money for camp and it went over well. Your son or daughter could get creative and do Starving College Kid Greeting Cards.

4. Do A Raffle. Raffle off some items.

5. Have an Art Show/Poetry Slam or Party. This is a fun way to raise money to help pay for some of the college costs for your child. Throw a party or poetry slam and ask for donations or charge for entry. But make it a fun time.

If you don’t have a child who’s heading off to or returning to college in a few weeks and you have time to save, consider investing in a 529 plan! A 529 plan is a great way to save for college while allowing you to receive some tax deductions at the state level.
