CLEP exams, Community College, and Scholarships can be confusing topics when homeschooling in high school. Wouldn't it be nice if there was just one single source for information, so you could figure it all out easily? It seems like there is conflicting information out there!
You might have heard that if your child attends a community college, that eliminates your opportunity for a scholarship. This isn't always true but here is the big problem. Universities are each unique companies, with their own policies. There isn't a single answer out there. Each college will do it differently. They may each decide whether or not to accept AP or CLEP tests - and decide if they will be given credit, placement, or used for outside documentation only. They each get to decide their policy on who gets scholarships as well - just those who demonstrate "need" or those who have superior test scores. Those decisions are usually based on only one thing: what will increase their ranking nationally. They will determine what is the best business decision for their company.
