Scholarship Information

All Scholarship Applications for 2013 have been received!

Sonlight Curriculum, Ltd. again sponsored a competition for thirteen scholarships: one $5,000 ($20,000 total), four $2,500 ($10,000 total, each), and eight $1,000 ($4,000 total, each) annual four-year scholarships for students who intend to begin college in the Fall of 2013. We call these "annual" four-year scholarships only to indicate that if you win one of these awards, you will receive it for all four years of your college career as long as you meet the requirements to maintain eligibility for the full four years.

Our 2013 scholarship application date was December 7, 2012. All applications postmarked December 7th and before are now being reviewed.

The scholarship committee will make its decision and inform the winner(s) no later than February 15, 2013.

You may review our evaluation criteria to determine how we reviewed the applications received.

Thank you to all of you who considered and submitted applications!

Sonlight's goal is to provide the best Christian homeschool curriculum materials and service. We are privileged to offer scholarships for homeschoolers entering college or a university.

Some of the most common questions parents have when they start homeschooling are, "How do I know it's going to work?" and, "How can I make sure my children will be prepared for college?"

While our scholarship winners won't provide you with answers to your specific situation, they do provide convincing evidence that Sonlight Curriculum works!

Sonlight's scholarship winners are one of many reminders that homeschooling is an excellent educational option. You can read about scholarship winners from previous years in the articles below.
