“Cost is really important in determining where I can go to college, so I will likely have to attend a local school.”

Steven Antonoff says not necessarily.  There are billions of dollars given to students for college and in some cases full tuition is given.  He says that the federal, state and individual colleges and thousands of public and private organizations make  funds  available to college students.

The key is research.  So all you high school students, you must do the research, the money is out there, just sitting and waiting to be collected.
