My son wants to go away to college after when he graduates from high school. He is finishing up 11th grade this month.

Fortunately, his grades are only suitable for community college, so two years there and two years to finish up in a 4-year college (Hoepfully Hillsdale).

Financial plans are to leverage my pension from where I was laid off along with scholarships to insure that he graduates without any debt.

I don't want him to start out with both feet in financial buckets of cement.

Our child is currently attending a jc. Can’t beat $25 per credit compared to $200+ per at the college he’ll be transferring to. Why pay that kind of money just to complete your core courses? He’s also CLEPing out of some of the courses. It’s a money and time saver.

Sounds like you’re on the right track.

“I don’t want him to start out with both feet in financial buckets of cement.”

Our thoughts exactly.
