For my son we had some expectations for us to keep paying. Get the GPA to keep your scholarship (made well before he committed to the school), let me know you are alive from time to time, stay within the budget we gave you unless it is unexpected academic fees which we agreed to pay, no more money will magically be given. No disciplinary actions from the college or police (we gave grace for traffic violations but he had to pay for those and any increase in insurance). And let me know if I’ll be getting bills for anything I didn’t expect (usually medical). Last thing was please call if you are in trouble and we will try to help.
We had a parent portal to pay the bills but trusted him with academics. He finished undergrad in 3 years well above out expectations and is in his last year of professional school now and handles everything on his own except we still pay tuition and help with rent and food so he can concentrate on academics.
