[quote=Anonymous]We have five children.  Three of our five are in college.  All three on are on scholarships.

DS - National Guard/ROTC  100% of his tuition, books, fees, and housing paid.  Plus he gets about $700 a month for food and extras.  He graduates in June.
DS - ROTC  100% of his tuition, fees, and housing paid.  We pay for his meal plan.  He is a sophomore.
DD - Presidential Scholarship. (She graduated with a 4.45 and is a National Merit Finalist)  100% of tuition, books, fees, and housing paid.  We moved to Florida two years ago and have the Bright Futures Scholarship.  She qualified at the highest level.  Everything not covered by her Presidential Scholarship is covered by her bright Futures scholarship.  This is her first year in college, but she is a sophomore because of all the AP and summer courses.

We are expecting the other two children to get the Bright Futures Award if nothing else.  At the highest level it covers the cost of tuition in an in-state school.

There is a ton of scholarship money out there.  We don't qualify for any need based program.  However, there were several other programs that we could have used had the kids needed additional funding.[/quote]
