Talk to your GC, investigate scholarships (particularly locally offered ones, which normally are the easiest ones to get), and take a close look at all of the public universities in your state, which may be your best chance to have an affordable college experience. Get your application in early because often state universities are rolling admission. Check the university web sites to see if there are merit scholarships that you can apply for or qualify for. Some have early deadlines, so start early.

Also read the tips at the top of CC’s Parents Forum and this board.
