Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Internet

Step1

Start early investigating colleges that offer your student education tuition free. Probably your students sophomore year is not too early to start. This will give you time to investigate online and perhaps take a trip to the colleges.

Step2

These colleges have unique situations that allow them to offer tuition free education--so do your homework. One college is Cooper Union in New York's East Village. It admits students solely on merit and awards full scholarships. This college specializes in Engineering, art, and architecture.

Step3

Or investigate Deep Springs College--it is an all-male college in the California dessert. This college emphasizes academics, labor, and self-governance.

Step4

How about Alice Lloyd College Location: Pippa Passes, Ky. It is a Liberal arts college with work-study program serving students from 108-county service area in rural Appalachia. Of the 1,365 students who applied in 2007, 43% were accepted.

Step5

My personal favorite is College of the Ozarks. I have visited there many times and find their philosophy refreshing! They are liberal arts college with required work-study program. Students must demonstrate financial need and EVERYONE is required to work as payment for the tuition.

Step6

There is also completely free education in Canada! Also, Sweden, Finland and some places in Germany offer completely free education. So, keep your eyes open and investigate what is right for you!
