Homeschool Scholarships

Apologia Mission Homeschool Scholarships

Today we received an email from the Director of Apologia Mission, a 501(c)3 non-profit arm of Apologia Educational Ministries. Apologia Mission was created to promote worldwide missions efforts while giving back and investing in the homeschool community.

Apologia Mission currently offers two college scholarships for homeschoolers. The first is an academic scholarship for homeschooled students in Indiana; the second for North Carolina homeschoolers who plan to train for the ministry or missions.

Apologia Mission also offers a homeschool scholarship for students planning to attend Impact 360, an outstanding Christian gap year program. Students from any state are eligible to apply for this scholarship.

For information on the two college scholarships, and a link to Apologia Mission’s site, visit our List of Homeschool Scholarships page. For information on the Impact 360 Scholarship, visit the Etc. page. To learn more about Impact 360, visit our Gap Year Programs page.

Gap Year Programs

Yesterday we decided to add a page that deals with “Gap Year” programs. For those who aren’t familiar with the term “gap year,” it refers to the year between high school and college that some students take off from traditional schooling. There can be numerous reasons for taking a gap year. Sometimes it’s for economical reasons. Some students work that year to raise money for college. Some who perhaps can’t afford college choose a less-expensive gap year program with many of the same benefits as college, but a program that results in a certificate instead of a diploma. A Christian student planning to attend a secular university may choose a gap year program at a Bible Institute in preparation for college. Many programs immerse the students into other cultures. As we started researching gap year programs, we were amazed at the wide range of options and prices. Some are more expensive than a year at college. Others are only about $8,000.

We will continue to add programs to the list in the upcoming weeks. You can find our Gap Year Programs under the Etc. tab.

We do have one word of warning for students considering a gap year. You’ll likely lose out on college scholarships, as many have to be used within a year of graduating from high school.
