non-school scholarships and grants require a little footwork (and I encourage you to especially target organizations in which you know people) but can be worthwhile. school scholarships and grants are great because they're usually just merit-based, and they seem to be plentiful, depending on what field you're going into.

on a side note, I think that people will soon realize what a HUGE business university education is. it's borderline disgusting and something needs to be done to spread the educational wealth.

on a similar note, the feeling in America is that without a college degree you simply can't make it. I think that's a load of crap, since we're losing so much intellect in the trades (contractors, engineers, mechanics, etc.). trade school should not be out of the question and, i would imagine, are more affordable if your child has a strong desire in a particular area. an unfortunate truth is that too many kids today don't have particular desires whatsoever...
