Bill > S3747

This bill, titled the "Home School Graduation Recognition Act," amends the Higher Education Act of 1965, a federal law that governs financial aid for students pursuing higher education. Specifically, it changes the heading of a section related to students who are not high school graduates to "FROM NON-TRADITIONAL SETTINGS," and importantly, it adds a provision stating that for the purposes of the entire Higher Education Act, a student who has completed their secondary education through homeschooling, as recognized by their state law as a home school or private school, will be considered a high school graduate. This change aims to ensure that students educated at home are recognized as having met the standard educational requirement for federal student aid eligibility, just like those who graduate from traditional public or private high schools.
