Homeschool grads counted for college aid

This bill would treat many homeschool students as high school graduates for federal college rules. You would qualify if you finished secondary school at home and your state treats your home school as a home or private school. If enacted, you would be treated as a high school graduate for programs under the Higher Education Act. That would open eligibility for federal student aid, like grants and loans. This recognition would apply only to rules under the Higher Education Act.
