I don’t think your son would qualify for WUE at U. of Montana (source) or U. of Wyoming (source).

WUE at U of Wyoming is called the Brown and Gold. Top students get the 150% of instate tuition, but most other students get something. There are also other scholarships available. But it is still going to cost more than going to a CC in California.
