she wants a degree in biomedical engineering and hopes to get into building robotic prosthetics
IUPUI has a decent biomedical engineering program and a strong women's lacrosse team.I believe its a D1 school that she might have a shot at.

As far as the divorce thing, it is amazing. What my wife makes if we got divorced, she could get housing, food stamps, and all other sorts of stuff plus my daughter would probably get money for college. All I need is a physical address to get mail and I could still live with her and still keep all the benefits. If anybody would check, I stay there a couple of nights a week as we are trying to work it out and get back together. Hell, we wouldn't have to tell anyone just keep our social media presence down and no one would know the difference either way. I would pay child support and the entire thing. File individual tax returns with alternate years on child claiming. I think we could pull this off without anyone knowing the wiser.
I have several clients that I am 99% sure are pulling this exact thing off

In other words, an exact role reversal of when you ask her to have sex...

I just checked on Women's lacrosse at IUPUI
Apparently its you just show up and you're on the team.
Doesn't sound like a "scholarship" type sport
My daughters coach is an idiot

When I was in school, Carolina was less than $1000 per semester in tuition. It's more than triple that now (the MIF's oldest graduated from UNC two years ago). Cue the jokes about fake classes, but that's a bargain...

UK was less than $1k a semester. It was so cheap you could work summers and pay for a year of school. I worked at UPS and paid for tuition and books.

Okay. Biomedical engineering is a high sought after field. Physics, high level math, chemistry and biochemistry. Starting salaries about 52,000 per year up to $150,000 per year. Not bad for a starting salary. It is very, very, high stress for a 4 year degree though. Especially if you go to a school that has a lot of people from China and India (many of them have teacher manuals from home). Start a study group early on with some of the smartest in the class. Whatever she does, don't try and work the homeworks by herself.
There are several STEM scholarships, especially for young women (have to remember the site with all the listings). Many of them for 2nd year students and above though.
Is she Ohio or Kentucky?
here's Ohio.

Just think what you had to do to pay for it when Crotch was in school. Milk the cows (and get a few squirts straight from the teet for yourself) and slop the hawgs in exchange for tuition, and they'd teach you to cipher. Pretty good deal...

its really is just mind blowing how we've got in this position.
They said college was out of reach for many young students when I was 16 yet working basic jobs you could have paid for tuition. I'm not saying you could afford an apartment, a car and all that but it was at least feasible. I knew many kids who lived off ramen noodles and peanut butter, driving a 10 year old car (and this was when 10 year old cars were well beyond their life expectancy). Maybe they had a $1500 student loan each year, I don't know but it wasn't much.
Now with government grants and whatever, you still can't come close to paying for school. Its completely out of reach.

Spacers link kinda opened my eyes to the University of Toledo. My son has a chance to go there via an extension school for a very cheap tuition. I just figured they were some crap ass college that wouldn't be worth much but now I'm reconsidering my position.

Guess your parents realized early on you were an embarrassment and never made the call.
