SCHOLARSHIPS 

The NCHE Scholarship Program was instituted to encourage and reward excellence in homeschooling in North Carolina. Between 1998 when the scholarship program began and 2025, the program has awarded over $198,000 to homeschool graduates from NCHE member families. NCHE scholars have attended a range of two- and four-year colleges, including the University of North Carolina, N.C. State, and Duke; the U.S. Air Force Academy; Moody Bible Institute and Patrick Henry College, as well as non-degree programs in aviation and missions.

Scholarship categories include:

academic;

arts;

community service; 

scholar athlete;

and missions and ministry (sponsored by Apologia for students wishing to pursue studies/careers in missions and ministry). 

Every applicant will be considered for all awards for which they qualify.  Only one scholarship will be awarded to each successful applicant.

QUALIFICATIONS

For all scholarships, the applicant must be a member of NCHE, and a legal, full-time North Carolina homeschool senior.

For the purposes of this scholarship program, “legal” is defined as being properly registered with the North Carolina Division of Non-public Education; and “full time” is defined as a student whose high school education is under the parents’ supervision, and not being claimed as a full time student by any other institution. 

NOTE:  Students enrolled in College and Career Promise and other college level dual enrollment programs are eligible to participate in the NCHE scholarship program.
