Jessica Parnell, a homeschool consultant, shared this story in her excellent article “Will Your Homeschool Student Receive a College Scholarship?” Joel was a homeschool student since kindergarten. He was an exceptional student with a passion for learning, an incredible ability to reason, and a real gift for writing. His parents had attended a homeschool convention when he was still in middle school and learned that grades are not important. In fact, they could simply choose to use a pass/fail system for his transcript. That sounded so much easier than maintaining grades for their many children! So they decided to homeschool without worrying about grades. They had no idea that grades would be significant when it came to scholarship funding! When Joel graduated, he took the SATs and scored above the 97th percentile in English and 96th in Math. The college and universities were excited about enrolling him! In fact, they were willing to offer scholarship funding in order to spark his interest in their institution. But they had one problem...without a GPA, they were limited in the scholarship amount that they could offer. And without grades, it was impossible to provide a GPA. Did his lack of grades affect his ability to get into college? No! But, it was a huge factor in the cost that he would incur when he did attend. A good record keeping system directs the homeschool parent to record the information important to colleges and universities when they distribute scholarships. This information is recorded on the student’s cumulative record discussed above. The Importance of a High School Transcript "We expect that homeschooled applicants will prepare a transcript that looks like other transcripts; that includes grades, and a grade point average based on a four-point scale. We also want to see a graduation date, written clearly in the transcript." Ruth Baisden Crutch, Co- Director of Admission, Nyack College, Nyack, NY. (2007) Colleges know homeschoolers take courses in unusual ways and at unusual times. What they ask is that homeschooled applicants translate their work into a transcript format that makes their school record complete and understandable. The Importance of Extra-Curricular Documentation Colleges and universities report they look for strong community involvement on the part of homeschooled applicants. They want homeschoolers to show they are more than just good students. They want applicants to demonstrate they have excellent interpersonal skills. One way this can be proved is by documenting extra-curricular activities. "We look to extracurricular activities, and community involvement to see leadership development in our applicants. Volunteer work in outreach organizations, employment, community music groups, and sports teams all provide the opportunity for homeschooled students to show us the leadership skills they've gained." Jeffrey Lantis, Director of Admissions, Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, Michigan (2007). "We want to see that a homeschooled applicant has been involved in the community in a productive way. We've seen homeschooled students do this by volunteering at local museums, in hospitals, participating in community sports leagues, and more." Amy Atcheson, Assistant Director of Admissions, Rice University, Houston, Texas (2007).
