Your kid sounds very talented. Why doesnt he apply to OUTSIDE scholarships and then can choose where he wants to go. He may win several scholarships that might add up to more than you'd get from one school alone. Flip side, you might have to pay for part, or possibly all of his education, depending on the choices you/he makes. You are fortunate that you are in a position to pay for college. Many are not.
