It’s money for College

It’s perfect for you
The WHO Scholarships are for members of WHO that have filed a Declaration of Intent to Homeschool and are graduating in 2021. We recognize that many homeschoolers utilize Running Start in high school, so providing the Declaration of Intent for the year prior to Running Start is just fine.
It values every teaching style
The scholarships understand that every homeschool is unique. Just submit your parent-made homeschool transcript or other homeschool record.
It’s easy to apply
The student needs to submit a brief essay on the benefits of homeschooling. The parents submit the student’s transcript or homeschool record. The family completes a very short application form.
