When college used to be (practically) free

[Moliphino]

Tuition is free in the state of Georgia if students attend a state school and make certain grades in high school and on the SAT.

We paid $1100 per semester to the University of Georgia for my older son who graduated in 2018. We just had to pay fees - tuition was totally free.

We pay a little more than that for younger son at Georgia because his high school gpa was just a little under the free tuition cutoff!

Tuition is funded by the Georgia lottery.

And you have to maintain a GPA over 3.0 (I think?) to keep it? I went to GT, but I was out of state. A bunch of my friends had it, though.

yep! My older son graduated with honors, so it wasn’t an issue!

Younger son has a 3.8 GPA, so he is good too
