Young Scholars Program

This program is an opportunity for homeschool students in grades 9-12 to attend Wisconsin Lutheran College for the purpose of taking one or more courses for high school and/or college credit.

Students interested in participating in the program should talk with the Young Scholar Program Contact at WLC to decide on the appropriate course(s).

Once a student has decided on the course(s) for which he or she wants to apply, the student will need to submit the WLC Young Scholars Program Application along with their homeschool transcript and ACT/SAT score (if taken).

A student can take a total of 18 credits throughout their time in the Young Scholars Program. There is no semester limit on the number of credits that can be taken. One or two courses per semester are typically recommended.

No. The Young Scholars Program is available to any homeschool student in grades 9-12. However, Wisconsin Lutheran College does participate in and offers ECCP courses for any public or private school student enrolled in high school.

A student in the Young Scholars Program may take any course for which they meet the pre-requisites.
