Honestly completely forgot about TOPs. You are correct, kid gets that and 50k then they are set. Issue is not all states have programs as easy to get as TOPs. Georgias scholarship program is a lot more difficult to get than Louisianas. But then the argument would be too if you can’t get TOPS in Louisiana, should you really be going to a 4 year college. Teachers for the past 30 years have been telling kids you have too or you’ll be nothing. Hopefully that changes.

Tops, scholarships and an education trust fund to which we contributed 200. a month allowed my wife and I to help our four kids get out of undergrad debt free. Also got them each a car their senior year of high school. Wasn’t always easy but definitely worth whatever “struggle” we went through. My parents lived through the depression both without their fathers. They know what struggle is.
