Homeschool parents are perfectly situated to get their children
the maximum scholarships because they are very involved with their
child's schooling and are able to plan early. The biggest problem about
getting scholarships is when parents wait until after junior year or
sometimes even senior year before they start thinking about it. When you
realize the need too late it gets a little hard to jump through all of
the hoops you need to jump through.
My two children are two years apart but I did end up graduating them at the same time. When I graduated them, there was a time when we were waiting for the phone call about the tuition scholarships. They went to a competition to see who would get the full tuition scholarships; it was a full day competition that lasted about eight hours.
Each of the participants were told to bring something that demonstrated who they were as a person. My older son brought his chess demonstration board and my younger son brought a charcoal drawing of the French economist, Jean Baptiste Say. Each planned on talking about their area of passionate interest.
When they got home, they did not talk about the competition; they talked about how fun it was to talk to all these smart kids who were really nice. I didn't really know what to expect since my kids talked about these kids having great grades and being special.
As typical worrying parents, we were wondering what would happen if one kid got the scholarship and the other didn't - they are both pretty smart, competitive, and they are both boys. The first call I got was actually for my younger son who received a full tuition scholarship. We continued to be anxious as we never heard back on our other son. Eventually, we did get the second call and learned we had received full-tuition scholarships for both of the boys.
Frankly speaking, we didn't have the money for college and $184,000 worth of full tuition scholarships between the two kids really helped us. We were exceedingly thankful that we were involved in our sons' high school education and that they could attend the college they chose.
