In many states in the US there is an opportunity to do Running Start / College in High School programs where the student can attend the nearby community college for both high school and college credit when they would be in grades 11 and 12. If the student has prepared for this and chooses courses that will transfer to the program and department they are interested in at the state university, the student can save up to 2 years of education time. The student may have to be quite accomplished to pull this off, as some of the flagship state universities are quite selective. If the student is planning on a STEM course of study they will have to have accelerated their math while in school as they must be ready for college level calculus no later than 11th grade.
But students who can do this route can cut their college costs roughly in half.
