I agree with your point that state schools are becoming extremely expensive for many. Georgia Tech (and all Georgia public schools) have the Hope Scholarship[1] for in-state students which pays 90% of your tuition if you meet certain academic requirements. They have the Zell Miller scholarship with higher acadmic requirements for the remaining 10%. It ends up being very good for lots of people, but the academic requirements, especially for your high school record, do introduce some socioeconomic and racial disparity with the awards.
