Homeschool Students

HOMESCHOOL TRANSCRIPTS

Since homeschool programs vary widely, a few additional steps are necessary for determining scholarship qualification and academic placement to help ensure your best success.

In addition to meeting the general requirements for admission, homeschool students must submit an academic transcript, which includes all courses taken and corresponding grades. If courses were taken elsewhere (e.g. taken at another school or through a college), those courses should also be included on the transcript. Official college transcripts are also required to transfer-in any college-level courses. Additional information may be required.

Homeschool Students Qualifying For the Hope Scholarship

The state of Tennessee now allows for students who had completed high school in a home school program on or after July 1, 2021 to qualify for HOPE even if they had not achieved a minimum 21/1060 on the ACT/SAT; respectively. To qualify under the new lottery scholarship regulations, students must complete at least two dual enrollment courses totaling at least six semester hours at an eligible postsecondary institution and achieve a college GPA of at least 3.0 in each of the two dual enrollment courses and a cumulative college GPA of at least 3.0 in all dual enrollment courses attempted. To emphasize, home school students must have graduated on or after July 1, 2021 to qualify under this requirement.

To establish HOPE eligibility for home school students who had fallen short of the ACT/SAT cutoff for HOPE but who had met the requirements above, go to the student鈥檚 21-22 HOPE Scholarship record in FAST and select the 鈥淟ottery Exceptions鈥� button. Select the 鈥淗ome School 鈥� HOPE Elg/DE College GPA鈥� reason, then select 鈥淵es鈥� to verify and 鈥淪ave鈥�.
