graylocks, even though college is four years away, it's not too early to start looking for aid. Get yourself a FAFSA and start looking for a workshop on filling it out. It's a daunting application. The state of Maryland has lots of financial aid workshops--many of them are in libraries. Ask the librarians what they know--I bet you will get a lot of information. Don't depend on the school's guidance counselor--many of them are undertrained and overwhelmed. Good luck! I know your son will make it through.
