The College Board: Connecting Students to College Success
The College Board is a not-for-profit membership association whose mission is to connect students to college success and opportunity. Founded in 1900, the association is composed of more than 5,200 schools, colleges, universities, and other educational organizations. Each year, the College Board serves seven million students and their parents, 23,000 high schools, and 3,500 colleges through major programs and services in college admissions, guidance, assessment, financial aid, enrollment, and teaching and learning. Among its best-known programs are the SAT®, the PSAT/NMSQT®, and the Advanced Placement Program® (AP®). The College Board is committed to the principles of excellence and equity, and that commitment is embodied in all of its programs, services, activities, and concerns.
Q. Does the university accept home schooled students?
A. Yes, home-schooled students need to achieve an ACT score of 21 or above or an SAT score of 970 or above in order to get admitted.
HOME-SCHOOLED STUDENTS Admission requirements
Home-schooled students are considered for admission based on ACT or SAT scores or GED scores. But because you may not have a traditional high school diploma or transcript, your application process will be slightly different.
Contact the Office of Admissions if you have questions about your home-school qualifications or requirements for admission.
We recommend that you start the admission process about a year before you plan to begin college. This will ensure that you have time to take the ACT, meet the scholarship and financial aid deadlines, arrange your housing, and learn about what K-State has to offer you.
You can apply for admission up to 18 months in advance.
How to apply
1. Submit your completed application with the $30 application fee.
You can fill out the online application or contact the Office of Admissions for a printed version.
2. Take the ACT on one of the national test dates.
We recommend that you take the ACT in the spring of your junior year to speed up the admission process. If you take the exam again, K-State will use your highest score for scholarship purposes. Just make sure to send your scores to K-State each time you take the ACT. K-State's ACT code is 1428. The test scores determine your level of preparation for college and help your advisor place you in the right classes when you enroll.
3. Submit transcript describing your high school program of study.
You can submit a transcript from an agency like American University or you can make your own. Course descriptions or portfolios of your work are accepted in place of an accredited diploma.
Financial aid and scholarships
Seven out of 10 K-State students who apply receive financial assistance in the form of scholarships, grants, loans, or work-study.
The financial aid process is the same regardless of whether you are home-schooled or attend a traditional high school. The application process is not difficult, but it takes time and some planning on your part.
Earning college credit as a home-schooled student
Outstanding home-school students may be admitted as special students to take courses while completing their high school requirements. You must submit the following:
1. An application for admission.
2. Application fee.
3. A recommendation from your teacher/parent.
4. A transcript showing the courses you’ve completed and the grades or averages in those courses.
5. A list of courses in which you plan to enroll.
K-State monitors the progress of pre-college students carefully. Students are approved for enrollment on the basis of space available in the selected classes.
