From time to time HEF receives information about scholarships which are available to public and private school students. Some companies and organizations offering scholarships may not have heard of home education and so there is no specific mention of home education students in the scholarship advertisements.

In the past, home educators have successfully worked at changing college admissions policies and in getting their students enrolled in military academies. Now, with evidence of the outstanding achievements of home educated students on the ACT, SAT and in colleges, it seems that the next wave of home education leaders need to work on opening scholarship opportunities.

The more contests and scholarships home educated students earn, the stronger the body of evidence is that home education works. This kind of information will help in our fight to protect and maintain our right to home educate.

Do you know of contests or scholarships that might be of interest to home educators in Florida? If so, please forward them to us.
