Home-schoolers may get HOPE

The State Senate passed a bill yesterday that would make home-schoolers eligible for HOPE scholarships.

Students taught at home would have to score in the 85^th percentile on the SAT or ACT test to qualify for HOPE.

Currently, home-schoolers can get HOPE if they earn a B-average their first year in college.

The House already passed the bill. It now awaits the Governor’s signature.
