IGH posted:ksazma posted:We are very fortunate in that we paid virtually nothing for our daughter to get these two degrees since she was on a full scholarship from FIU. State of Florida has a program called Bright Futures where a high school students gets paid per college credit taken. Because of her high school grades, she was able to bank over $12k on this alone. I had bought a college tuition plan for her when she was little for about $8k. I can now cash that in for over $9k which goes to her. She ended up making more than $20k on her college.
Not to be completely ignored, we also received a letter from our son's school inviting him to spend his junior and senior HS years attending our county's community college. This is designed to allow him to earn an AA degree and his HS diploma in 2021. He currently has a 5.2 GPA and is number 2 at his school's class of 2021. This is a good program not only because it is completely free but more importantly, it presents the opportunity for one to earn their Bachelors degree by the time they are 20. My cousin's daugher who utilized this was able to graduate before her 21st birthday and earn her Physicians Assistant degree before her 23rd birthday. My daughter was also invited but she didn't want to do it as she wanted to completely experience her high school. She can still earn a somewhat doctor of Pharmacy degree (PharmD) in 3 to 4 years which will still be a good position to be in.
All praises are due to Allah, the Provider and Cherisher of the worlds.
ksazma ... congratulations to you & your wife. Congrats to your daughter & son.

Hubby's niece attended #3 straight from HS.
Thanks Feens. Congrats to your husband's niece. She made the best decision. Our daughter wants to go to NSU because it is close to home. Incidentally they recruited her when she was in high school and at the time the PharmD program straight from high school was 5 years. Regretfully I encouraged her to go to FIU instead because I wasn't sure how serious she was about being a Pharmacist and from what I know, NSU credits aren't transferable. I had my mind on medical doctor instead. I told her that if she did undergraduate near home, I will send her to any pharmacy school she wants to go to afterwards. She has some time before the next enrolment period so she is thinking of getting a job in a pharmacy as she thinks it will help her when she begins school.
