Homeschool to Higher Ed: Practical Tips for College and Scholarship Writing Success
If you’ve been homeschooling through high school, you know how quickly the college application season sneaks up. One minute you’re teaching paragraph structure, and the next you’re editing scholarship essays and personal statements. I’ve been there.
My daughter has taken every writing course I offer at Teacher Jade’s Writing Academy, and by age eleven, she published her first book. Now, as we prepare for college essays and scholarship submissions, I’m realizing that strong writing skills are only part of the process—students also need to know how to connect through their words.
That’s why I’m hosting a free webinar to help families navigate this exciting (and sometimes stressful) stage:
Free College Application and Scholarship Webinar
In the webinar, I’ll walk you through:
- How to help your child brainstorm and respond to prompts authentically
- Ways to polish essays so they stand out without losing their voice
- Simple daily writing habits that build confidence and clarity
- How parents can guide without taking over the process
For parents, the biggest takeaway is to make writing part of regular conversation. Talk about their goals, experiences, and challenges—these reflections often become the heart of a powerful essay.
For students, it’s about practice and self-awareness. The best essays don’t sound perfect; they sound real. I encourage students to write freely at first, then shape their words into something that feels both polished and personal.
I’ll be sharing the recording of the webinar right here after it airs, so if you can’t attend live, you’ll still have access to all the strategies and examples.
Whether your child is homeschooled or in a traditional school, essay writing is a skill that can open doors, not just to college, but to self-expression, confidence, and storytelling.
If you’re ready to make the college and scholarship writing process smoother (and maybe even enjoyable), reserve your spot today.
