I know that, back in the Stone Age when I attended, Worcester Polytechnic Institute had a semester abroad program where you went to Germany. I have no idea if they still offer this. It's an engineering school, so it might be worthwhile for AlohaNow's kid to look into.
I know the HS that DD15 attends has a special program for First Generation college kids, that starts freshman year. Basically, it's to help them navigate the college selection process, burnishing your transcript, etc. Unfortunately, the rest of us schlubs are on our own. Although I have two older kids, it's been 8 years, and my oldest was super independent, #2 went the community college route, and we moved to a different state so I feel like I'm starting over.
