How To Help A College Student Succeed with Amazon Auto-Ship

Hey Everybody! We all know that it's that time of year, our nieces, nephews, cousins, sons and daughters are either going away to college for the first time, or they are returning to some illustrious institution of Higher Learning as a Sophomore, Junior, or Senior. Every parent, grandparent, caretaker, or guardian has heard this question; " Well what does he/she need?" Often times we know right off the top of our heads what additional items our scholars need. But the reality is they won't only be in need at the beginning of the school year. There will be points throughout the year where this student will need help. For the majority of these students, it will be their first time away from home for an extended period of time. There are many things they may need and not have the resources to acquire. 

So you ask what is one small thing you can do to help a college student succeed?

Utilize Amazon to put one or two hygiene items on auto-ship. With this Amazon's Subscribe and Save platform will, on a monthly basis send the selected items directly to the student. For example; one 6 pack of Dove soap is $6.47 with free shipping through PRIME. If you took over the responsibility of spending $6.47 per month (or every other month depending on your subscribe and save option) on one college student, in the long run, that would serve the student far better, than a gift you may have gotten them that they may not need. One less thing off their plate right? That way they can focus on the important stuff like pledging and the amazing food at the Cafe'! #freshman15

 In the end, you will have only spent $64.70 (I know I've spent more than that at the dollar store...just me? Moving on!)

Consider these items to auto-ship through Amazon for a student in your life:

Overall it takes not one of us stepping up but all of us. I challenge you to find a student you can invest in today, just this small deed may let them know someone cares, someone has their back and someone is invested in them having what they need to feel comfortable in a new environment. These students are destined for greatness and I am all about helping these #GOALGETHERS AND #GOALGETHIMS become the very best they can be, even if it is only a small contribution!
