Homeschool Dual Enrollment in New Hampshire
Yes. Homeschooled students aged 15 or older can take college courses through the Community College System of New Hampshire's Early College program, with up to two courses a year tuition-free when state scholarship funding is available.
How Early College works for homeschoolers
The Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) runs Early College at its colleges and at some high schools. The tuition-free courses are paid by the state's Dual and Concurrent Enrollment Scholarship program, subject to the money the legislature provides.
The course earns college credit at the community college. A college your child applies to later decides how much of that credit transfers.
Public and private school students qualify in grades 10 through 12. For homeschoolers, the rule is age instead of grade.
