Welcome to Earnest Money, where we get personal about personal finance. In this two part series, Carolyn is talking to Pam, a member of the Earnest family and a first generation college grad. Today we are talking about her own experience with the college application process, the challenges that first generation high school students can face, and resources she and her parents found useful as they went through this journey together.
