Key takeaways:

  • start the application process early to avoid unnecessary stress

  • seek out scholarship opportunities - even several small scholarships can add up

  • living on campus and off-campus each have pros and cons - determine which suits your context best

  • Prepare for placement tests, SATs, ACTs - this can significantly increase your scores

  •  Be honest throughout the application process, some scholarships include several rounds of interviews

  • Being homeschooled is great preparation for college as homeschoolers are already learning to manage their time, communicate with adults, and work independently

  • Keep your faith central and appreciate the efforts and advice of your parents and guardians during your homeschool experience
