3 WAYS TO GET 2 YEARS FREE COLLEGE (1 NEW ONE!).
1. DUAL ENROLLMENT - LCC and other Michigan community colleges allow students to take high school courses through their home district public school.
Note: Locally, Eaton Rapids High School has been willing to enroll Lansing homeschoolers in order to take advantage of that program. Lansing School District has not been amenable to partnering with homeschool families in this manner. If your home district is not Lansing School District you may be able to access this program
Great news for homeschoolers living in Lansing School District!
~~2 years of free college available after high school~~

My friend, Guillermo Lopez, Lansing School District board trustee, visited Schrodinger Academy a few weeks ago.
He mentioned *to my great surprise and disbelief* that he thought the Lansing Promise Scholarships were available to homeschoolers. I checked the eligibility requirements and it is indeed true!!
The Promise provides tuition assistance for up to 65 credits at Lansing Community College or the equivalent dollar amount toward tuition and fees at Michigan State University or Olivet College.
Eligibility
-Live within the Lansing School District boundaries
-Attend 9th -12th grades at a high school within the Lansing School District boundaries
-Graduate from a high school within the Lansing School District boundaries
-Get Accepted to Michigan State University, Lansing Community College, or Olivet College and complete the FAFSA.
-Apply to the Promise by the June 1st or November 1st deadlines within one year of graduation
The application further clarifies eligible high schools:
"Have graduated from, or intend to graduate from Lansing Eastern, Lansing Everett, Lansing Sexton, Lansing Catholic High, Michigan Virtual High School, or Home School and have at minimum four or more consecutive years in the Lansing School District leading up to graduation (9-12th grade) or have a GED with eight consecutive years in Lansing School District and be under the age of 20. You have one year from the time of graduation to apply for the Promise.)"
