Key Points

Congress would treat students who finish high school at home as “high school graduates” for federal college aid purposes.
This applies when the home school is treated as a home school or private school under that student’s state law.
If passed, home-schooled students could have an easier time proving they qualify for federal student aid and related college programs.
For families, this could mean fewer paperwork hurdles when a home-schooled teen applies to college and seeks financial help.
