Turning 21 tomorrow and basically paying my way with scholarships I earned through hard work in high school. They cover tuition, room and board, and books, although with the rising tuition costs (50% total in the last 5 years, anyone?) plus increases in the cost of room/board and books, I only get a few hundred dollars of overage when all is said and done. Still, this is pretty much enough when combined with the summer job money that I am able to live comfortably and am able to do undergraduate research on fuel cells (hydrogen economy is coming from South Carolina!).
Oh, and total cost per semester is about $7000 or so, roughly, for in-state.
