No.

I don’t know what in-state tuition is there but by the time your kids  
are ready for college, I’ll bet you could save a bundle.

Would be nice, wouldn't it.  Our assistant dean told me years ago  
that tuition remission is a perk that is being gradually done away  
with nationwide.  Tuition at U of SC is one of the highest for state  
schools in the southeast.  The running joke has always been that UVA  
and USC battle it out for highest tuition every year.  We do have  
lottery proceeds now, but lottery scholarship funds don't increase to  
match tuition increases -- it's actually a $3K a year thing I think -  
and ya gotta keep a B+, which my oldest isn't going to do.
