One way you can't control...

Get your parents/spouse to teach at the university of your choice. Nearly every university provides free or greatly reduced tuition to the dependents of its teaching staff.

I only just realized that this might be a possible back-up plan for getting my sons through their college years, should the savings plan I'm currently using not be enough. I've taught at the college level, and would be willing to go back to doing so in another 12 years when my sons would be ready to go.

This isn't a plan that everybody could use, but perhaps a few readers might consider it for their dependents.
