Damn, that sucks, it's getting harder and harder to pay for college. They did neglect to mention another option - Joins the Air Force and let them pay for your college (it's what I did and it worked out pretty well). In the Airman Commissioning Program they pay 75% for the first year and if you do well enough they let you off active duty (unless you are considered essential - Air Traffic Controllers/Special Forces/Etc.) and pay for EVERYTHING. Beats the hell out of the GI Bill, I can tell you that much.
