Our local Community College had a partnership with our two son's high school that offered free tuition for an Associates Degree. So for the first two years they lived at home, worked PT jobs and commuted to CC. We paid for fees and books. Upon graduation, they transferred to state University, continued to work PT jobs and we paid tuition, fees and books each semester. Older son chose to live on campus, so he paid his rent with his PT job while we helped for food and gas. He graduated with a Finance degree and now has a great job. Younger son is now a Jr. He chose to live at home and commute.
Though never well-off, we still never qualified for any financial aid except student loans, which we absolutely refused. So while saving for FIRE, we always managed to scrape up enough to pay that tuition bill when it was due. And Amazon.com was a great source of used textbooks! Haha
