That was in 2010, and was a bare-bones deal. My associate would have been willing to pay up to $20,000 a year but after I laid everything out....that the better schools were way beyond that...he just gave up on the idea.

Makes me wonder if there is not a business opportunity here. Take in some 13-year old...promise to have him educated up to high school grad-level by 16, and provide two years of junior college-level studies and some degree by age 18. There are all of these private small colleges heading toward financial failure because they can’t convince anyone to pay $20,000 a year for their program. Just make them into junior academy/boarding school projects.

Did your friend ever investigate scholarships ?

He really needed a good boarding school placement person, but they too are rather pricey.

I like your idea; however, if you leave it up to a going defunct college, it'd be worthless; they don't even get a large portion of kids up to high school level and call it "college" level.

OTOH....the great boarding schools are well worth the money!
