You already found that thread. In terms of locations…you need to read the posts…and figure out if any are geographically suitable for your daughter and family.

This one has full tuition…not guaranteed…but possible.

You need to also look at the public universities in your state. Probably most, if not all, have education programs. See if there are any scholarships there. Look at your net costs at these instate schools…which might just be less than your net costs OOS.

Use the net price calculators.

Your daughter is a HS junior. She could,very well,change her mind about majoring in education. But if she doesn’t…it’s easiest to get certified in the state from which you graduate from college.
