College Scholarships for Homeschoolers

Many parents are concerned about whether or not homeschoolers will be missing out on college scholarships and this is simply not the case. In fact, college scholarships abound for homeschoolers! Schools are seeing how dedicated and academically adept homeschoolers truly are (test scores show this over and over again that homeschoolers out perform public schooled children) and colleges are responding in turn and offering generous scholarships.

Many scholarships are based on academics. Parents provide the transcripts (grades) which in turn create the GPA. Many scholarships also require a certain SAT or ACT score as well. Read the details on each scholarship.

As part of HLSPV you will receive free college counseling. We also offer many classes where you can receive college credit (AP courses). Here is a list of scholarships readily available to homeschoolers:
