The 2nd one listed (College of the Ozarks) is where my son goes to high school and will most likely go to college. We live 4 miles from the campus.

You are SO lucky that you live by one of these collages. Sure will be a great savings for all involved!

Thanks for sharing. I wasn't aware of all of these.

Many schools also offer free tuition or tuition reimbursement for employees, which could be another option to consider.

Also, I had a friend in college who wanted to go to a good law school but could not afford (and didn't want the loans of) private schools or out of state schools. So after college he worked for a year in Virginia as VA has several good law schools. At that point he was considered an instate student and applied to law school. He ended up going to William and Mary and paid instate tuition.

There are now about 20 or so Ivy League schools including Yale and University of Chicago that cover 100% of tuition for students whose family income is less than $60,000 per year. Of course, you have to get accepted first.
