| Annotation | This study looked at an intervention of intergenerational programming designed to increase grandparents' and grandchildren's knowledge and preparedness regarding higher education. Two college preparatory trainings for grandparents and adolescent children were held on university campuses. Grandparents and grandchildren were given student-led tours of the campus, financial aid information, information about careers and how to work with school counsellors, and information about the state's free tuition incentive programme. Pre- and posttests were used to assess changes in awareness of both grandparents and grandchildren of college opportunities and information. Follow-up focus groups were conducted with participants. Overall feedback seemed to indicate that the workshops were successful, for grandparents and grandchildren alike. (JL). |
