The funny thing is that most Homeschoolers take the option to send the kids to Community College for the last years of high school. The kids can get into most colleges on their Associate's Degree.
Michigan is planning to pay for this!!
My first child completed 1 year of college in her senior year.
My second child is finishing his 2nd year (and has nearly completed the complete math and physics courses required for Engineering majors ..) - and will be entering the US Naval Academy at the end of June.
(Both were home-schooled until they started taking college classes with the Running Start program.)
