Home School Graduation Recognition Act
Home Schooling: Recognition for College Aid
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill, introduced by Mrs. Moody, would change federal law to officially recognize students who finish home school as high school graduates.
- Under this plan, if a state considers a home school program to be a valid form of education, the federal government must also accept those students as high school graduates for college programs.
- This change would help home-schooled students more easily qualify for federal student loans and grants by removing confusion about their graduation status.
- It updates national education rules to ensure these students are treated the same as traditional graduates when applying for federal financial aid.
