My state offers a scholarship to residents who are attending any 2-year/4-year in-state college (funded, I believe, by the tobacco industry here).
The only requirement is a certain GPA (3.25).
I received a letter today from the treasury stating that I had been awarded said scholarship (yaay!) and for every credit up to 12 credits, the scholarship will pay $80. That's $960/semester.
Subtracting the other scholarships I received, all I have to pay for the first semester's tuition is $592.50.
That doesn't include books, registration, all the other fees, etc. All in all, I'm expecting the first semester to cost about $1,200.
I've also been thinking about pledging a sorority (don't know which one), which will cost about $700-1,000/semester.
I'm very lucky, paying for undergrad will not be a problem.
