College Aid Eligibility: Recognizing Home School Graduates

Also known as: Home School Graduation Recognition Act

Legislative Progress

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.
