I can't thank you all enough for your responses.  This has been very helpful and I will do my best to "pay it forward" by offering what I can on other people's threads.  I think when at it's best, this DCUM Forum is a valuable resource for us parents.  Anyways...

A friend sent me an interesting item from somewhere about the "Parent(s) Scholarship".  Basically, if you have a kid headed toward college who is not showing respect, acting entitled, or lazy and just getting by, then in order to have Mom & Dad, or Mom, or Dad pay for school, it comes with conditions.  Here's what I was sent:

=========

[b]The "Parent(s) Scholarship"[/b]

Assuming the Parents will equally share the college contribution, the following terms apply to both Parents. If the parents are divorced, then the following terms apply to the Parent paying the majority share of the education costs, and are a condition of receiving the "Parent(s) Scholarship":

(1) Kid shows Parent(s) respect and kindness; 
(2) Kid stays in and initiates weekly contact with Parent(s) & responds w/ in 3 days to emails, calls, or texts; 
(3) Kid maintains B average; 
(4) Kid signs any docs needed so that Parent(s) can access grade reports directly from school; 
(5) Kid pays for any classes where he/she screws up and has to drop; 
(6) If a split family, Kid spends 50% of holiday break time at the Parent(s) place who is funding the education (understanding that some breaks may be with friends or bf/gf). 
(7) If a split family, Parent paying the majority share gets the dependent tax deduction, and Kid signs paper work (driver licenses, voter registration, using that Parent’s place as official primary abode, anything else), to support Parent getting it.

[i]Without full acceptance of the above terms, please see your student loan officer.  [/i]

=========

I found it interesting and may post it in a separate thread on the College forum.  Thoughts?[/quote]
