Abstract
(HR6392 · 119th Congress) Home School Graduation Recognition Act This bill clarifies that students who complete their secondary education in a home school setting recognized under state law are high school graduates for purposes of eligibility for federal student aid. Latest action (2026-03-17): Read twice. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 358.
Why this matters
Federal student aid eligibility hinges on high-school-graduate status, and homeschooled applicants have historically navigated ambiguous FAFSA treatment. Codifying recognition based on state-law standards would give homeschool graduates and their institutions clearer footing when establishing Title IV eligibility, without altering aid amounts or program structure.
