<p>Have your son accept a NMF scholarship from one of several state schools, such as University of Alabama. There is very little cost involved to the family, and he can always transfer to a California school and pay for the tuition there, having already acquired 2 years of free college education. Or perhaps he would want to stay at his original college, and continue getting that almost totally free education. There is a thread that lists all the colleges that offer substantial NMF scholarships. You might want to investigate that if he does make it to NMF. Some colleges also givve scholarships if a student is NMSemi finalist, as well.</p>
