Catana - Thanks for advising me on CLEP. i'm looking more closely at this now.
However, it isn't just financing the first two years. I'd like my kids to be able to finance all four years, possibly even with books and/or living expenses. I only say this, because I DO think it is a possiblity, and they will be giving up opportunities while they are so close to earning one or more. My daughter has been working specifically at trying to get at least the one scholarship mentioned.
I hate for them to give up these opportunities, because of the high school's unwillingness to allow English and math to count for high school credit, especially when it is the exact same course name.
I am going to continue with the CLEP tests. I was aware of them, but never thought of it as needed, since the CA schools accepted college credit for math and English requirements. Thanks!
