It is already hard enough to figure out how much money a dorm/apartment, food, books will cost. Books are also expensive. In the state of Florida they have bright futures. Bright futures is a scholarship that is funded by the Florida Lottery. When some one wins the lottery a portion of their winnings goes into education. If your child gets a straight A's (GPA of 3.5-4.0 or higher) in high school they could be eligible for 100% of the college tuition paid in full until they day they graduate. This is a great program in the state of Florida. Scholarships are also good to apply for. I got a scholarship that paid 10,000 dollars to my university each year for my schooling. A full-time student has 12-15 credit hours and the total tuition amounts to 1,500.00- 1,800 a semester (in-state).
If you keep your child on track in school they will have access to so many opportunities. Look for state opportunities like Bright Futures in your state. Collegeboard.com is a good website to look up colleges and see how much it will total for your baby to go to college.
The other half of knowledge is accessed by searching.
