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 2023. 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.

When I was younger, I had many ideas about what I would do when I got older, from ‘bone doctor’ to farmer to chemist. To my great displeasure, I was frequently informed that I would have to learn some math to achieve these goals--and I hated math. As a third-grader, I referred to it as Mental Abuse To Humans. The idea that anyone would voluntarily do more math than strictly necessary seemed ridiculous.

Growing up, I have always loved serving other people. Whether it be watching kids during church meetings or bringing mail to elderly neighbors, it gave me joy to help them out. I would say that being homeschooled has opened up extra opportunities of this nature. In fact, I would even say that serving my community has been a vital part of my homeschool education.
