Washington state has a similar program called Running Start. Basically, if you're a junior or senior stuck in HS and manage to pass a ridiculously easy aptitude test, the state will pay community college tuition. I did this, mainly out of boredom, but a couple months in (deciding for my junior year I'd still take 2 HS courses), I realized that this was a great way to avoid all the idiots in HS (A fact really driven home when I got to grade all of the finals for my US History class on the grounds that I finished the test first by a wide margin). Even if you don't necessarily loathe high school, it's still a great way to kill two birds with one stone by taking care of GE credits in college while they'll still count for your high school diploma. I inadvertantly did this, as I did absolutely no planning regarding college (besides getting in, of course). Two people I know maxed out on transfer credits (one was quite a bit over), and they'll be graduating in a quarter or two, getting a degree (or two) in less than 3 years total.
