Does this private college have ROTC? They will pay...

This is the best suggestion on the thread. ROTC is the answer.

It's not all that easy to get a ROTC scholarship. Not everyone enrolled in ROTC gets one. It's pretty competitive. The amount you get is usually limited to tuition, plus a living stipend, which isn't enough to pay room and board. It's impossible to work any other jobs when enrolled. The service commitment is longer for scholarship recipients, usually 8 years--4 years active duty and 5 years in the reserves.

One of my young neighbors did this. He ended up going to a good, but not elite school. He got into more highly ranked schools, but didn't get one of the scholarship slots at any of these, so had to go lower down--sort of like looking for merit money.[/quote]

While ROTC may solve the problem of paying for college, it will doesn't change the fact that OP is more willing to have her daughter struggle than have an uncomfortable conversation with her 2nd husband.  All the daughter's half siblings and step siblings get taken care of but OP's daughter gets the shaft.  That's harsh. [/quote]
