Home Schooling: Recognition for College Aid

Home School Graduation Recognition Act

Law

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.
