My son's college so far has been "tuition free" and should be able to continue to be "tuition free."
He's enrolled in our county's dual enrollment program (he was homeschooled up until then, but the program is open to all students, private and public).
So during his high school years he's earned his AA (tuition is free, we had to pay for books, but if you're a public schooled kid, books are loaned free).
Then the State of Florida offers Bright Futures Scholarships if you make a certain grade on SAT or ACT tests, do some community service (75 hours), and plan to attend a state university (UF, FSU, USF, UCF, etc.)
I know in some state's they have similar programs, it sure makes it easy on the pocketbook.
Easy on the pocketbook, but how is it on your child's soul? Placing your child in a vice-intensive zone is very risky, no matter how good his upbringing.

What sort of SAT score do you have to make. Is this for residents?
