College Admissions, Scholarships and Homeschooling High Schoolers

Are you homeschooling high school? Are you nervous about the prospect of homeschooling high school? Are you concerned about whether your homeschooled child will find it difficult getting into college, much less receive scholarships?

If any of these questions are looming in your mind, this is an absolutely must-listen episode! Joining me is Pam Andrews, founder of The Scholarship Shark. Pam brings her years of expertise in college admissions and winning scholarships for her clients. Even better, Pam is a homeschooling mom of 4. Pam’s oldest child, who was homeschooled throughout his K-12 education, was accepted to all 8 colleges to which he applied and was awarded over $700K in scholarships. That is not a typo, by the way.
