If you’re like many of the people in our community we talk to, you’ve got lots of time now with your kids at home! And with schools in the area going to online learning, many parents likely find themselves unsure of how best to manage their new normal. 

Well, right now could be a great time to connect with your children and introduce the John Hancock Education Planning Center --  a scholarship and college search tool. Sit down with your kids and dream about what to do when they grow up. Look for schools that have those majors. And find scholarships designed especially for your kids!
