  Homeschoolers' Frequently Asked Questions

 

 
Is Montreat College "homeschool friendly"?
Yes! Approximately 6% of our current student body have graduated from homeschool and many more have at some time been homeschooled.

What are the application requirements for homeschooled students?
- A completed application with $15 application fee
- An official transcript of course work taken in high school
- SAT or ACT scores
- A personal essay
- At least one letter of recommendation
- A copy of your homeschool diploma (after you graduate)

 

What is required for a homeschooled student to be accepted?
- 4 units of English
- 3 units of Social Studies
- 3 units of Science
- 3 units of Math (must have Algebra I & II and Geometry)
- At least one unit of Foreign Language
- A GPA and Board score that meets our sliding scale

What if my homeschool is not a state-certified program?  
No problem; you can still apply to Montreat College. Your academic course work and performance along with your board scores and life experiences will be evaluated to determine if you can benefit from and contribute to the Montreat community.

How early can I begin the application process?
Students may begin applying to Montreat College in September of their senior year.

Does Montreat accept AP credit or CLEP scores?
Yes, we do. Official copies of the AP and CLEP test results will be required before credit is awarded. Please have these sent to the Admissions office for evaluation.

Will Montreat College accept college credits that I have earned while I was still in high school?
Yes; we accept transfer credit from other regionally accredited institutions of courses completed with a grade of "C" or better. Courses that do not apply to a student's degree program will not be accepted. Please be sure to include an official transcript from the institution along with your application for admission.

As a homeschooled student, will I be eligible for financial aid?
Of course. Homeschooled students may apply for all federal, state, and institutional aid. (You will need to complete a Montreat College Institutional Aid application for institutional aid and a FAFSA for federal aid.)

Does Montreat College offer academic scholarships to homeschooled students?
Homeschooled students are evaluated for academic scholarship in the same way as traditional high school students. Academic scholarships range from $1,500 to $6,000 and are based on academic performance and/or College Board scores.
