He should do his General education credits at the Community College, they usually give a scholarship to transfer in State to a State University and if he has excellent grades, they give a scholarship for that also.

If he joins Honor Society there they also offer scholarship.

Then the University will offer money for certain degrees and scholarship.

Some states offer scholarships for medical also.

Research which Universities he will be applying to before filling out the FAFSA because the school will respond with their packages, so you can compare.
