A college education can start before high school graduation.
Homeschooling gives families the freedom to shape their student’s education around their goals, interests, and convictions. At Calvary University, homeschool students can take that flexibility a step further by earning college credit while still in high school and receive scholarship support when they continue on to a degree.
Whether your student is looking for a few college courses, preparing for a future major, or getting ready to become a full-time Warrior, Calvary offers options to help make the transition from homeschool to college straightforward.
Homeschool Graduate Scholarship
Calvary recognizes the work homeschool families have invested in their students. The Homeschool Graduate Scholarship provides $500 per semester for eligible full-time undergraduate students.
To qualify, a student must:
- Be a homeschool graduate
- Apply to Calvary within five years of graduation
- Enroll full-time in at least 12 undergraduate credit hours per semester
- Maintain a 2.8 cumulative GPA
- Reapply annually
The scholarship is available for any undergraduate degree-seeking program.
Early College at Calvary
High school juniors and seniors can take college courses through Calvary’s Early College program while completing their high school education. Courses are available online or on campus, giving families flexibility in how students participate.
Students can choose from courses in areas such as Bible, English, history, communications, mathematics, science, music, intercultural studies, theology, and social sciences. Students can earn college credit that may also count toward their high school requirements, with permission from their high school administration.
2026–2027 Early College tuition is $81 per credit hour, plus the applicable Early College and course fees.
From Homeschool to College
Choosing a college does not have to mean abandoning the things that made your homeschool experience valuable.
At Calvary, students receive a Christ-centered education grounded in the biblical worldview while preparing for careers, ministry, and further education. Calvary offers undergraduate programs in areas including Bible & Theology, Biblical Counseling, Business Administration, Education, English, Ministry Studies, Intercultural Studies, Music, Professional Directed Studies, and Theatre Arts.
Students can study on campus or online, depending on their program and circumstances.
For homeschool graduates who are ready to make the transition to full-time college, Calvary’s Admissions team can help families understand the application process, financial aid, academic programs, and next steps.
A College Experience Built Around Community
For students who eventually choose to attend Calvary on campus, college means more than classes.
Students have opportunities to participate in athletics, music, theatre, student activities, ministry, missions, and other areas of campus life. Small classes and a close-knit campus community give students opportunities to develop relationships with faculty, staff, and other students.
For homeschool students especially, that can provide a natural next step: moving from a family-centered learning environment into a college community without leaving behind a commitment to faith and biblical truth.
