State Treasurer Clint Zweifel explains Missouri's college savings plan, which he uses for his own children.
A column by State Treasurer Clint Zweifel Every year it seems like the holidays start sooner and last longer filled with family trips, school parties and time with friends. There are gifts to find, meals to plan and memories to make. For those children on your lists, I encourage you to consider starting or adding to a MOST—Missouri's 529 College Savings Plan account. While higher education might not be on their wish list, contributions to a MOST 529 account could help the children in your life reach their goals. Starting a MOST 529 account is easy.

Depending on the type of degree you want to pursue, most local four-year colleges have online classes or a School of Professional Studies (for those non-traditional students). I second Ms. Abellard's statement about community college. It's a great way to get the basic courses completed at a great price. Financial aid (loans) are available, but you would need to file the FAFSA to see which one(s) … more ›

How to avoid the common pitfalls of the helicopter parent that come with technology.
I have no idea if I’m a helicopter parent. Like other flaws, and especially parenting mistakes, helicopter parenting is hard to detect in yourself and easy to see in others. There’s no concern that I’ll end up financially supporting my grown children (too cheap) or that I do too much for my kids (too lazy), but I am sometimes overprotective of my kids, which always seems completely reasonable at the time. All of us crazy parents seem reasonable to ourselves. As technology moves us along, however, the ability to hover is more tempting than ever. When the current generation of parents was in college, the once-per-week phone call home was the norm. Now a new crop of college kids are at universities, and they can all but take mom and dad along…
Students were formally awarded last night during a recognition reception at Genesis Banquet Center.
Last night’s Mehlville-Oakville Foundation Recognition Reception was full of poignant and proud moments. The community-based nonprofit organization, which supports the Mehlville School District’s students and staff, awarded $7,250 in college scholarships to Mehlville High and Oakville High seniors. After opening remarks from President Deborah Langland, several private scholarships were awarded in memory of loved ones who have passed on. Mini-grant and scholarship judge Mary Britt took a moment to thank those who either donated or judged. “The rest of the money comes from the walk-run in October and our money saver cards,” Britt said. “I also want to thank those who helped judge the scholarships. They graciously went through all of the …
