Oh,....in addition to the UGMA and 0% coupon bonds, and votech.....make them enlist in the military and they should begin college after their 4-6 year active duty.

That way, they are mature enough for college, and can go ROTC or OCS after they complete their BA.

My grandson is in high school and in the JROTC. He's looking forward to the Air Force not only paying his college tuition but also providing him with a monthly allowance while he's in college. Of course, upon graduation, he'll be a officer in the Air Force.

What I find strange is that a nearby school with an Army JROTC program wants him to transfer to their school. They called - again - yesterday. One of their arguments is that the Army needs more personnel than the Air Force and there is a possibility that mid-way through college the Air Force will determine that they're 'overstaffed', will not need new officers, and will discontinue his scholarship. I wonder if that's true?
