High School In College Part 2

College in High School.  A surprisingly large number of students leave high school with out graduating. In some areas the total is nearly 50%, half of the students leave without a diploma. Often these same students enroll in a college, often a community college, but at other  times a technical or private college. Their purpose is usually to obtain skills which will increase their ability to earn. It is not a widely known fact that frequently a student with no high school diploma can complete the requirements for  high school graduation while attending college.

     As with all things educational, for average students, the first question is, " Who pays?"  The answer to this question may be surprisingly simple. So if you are attending a community college but have to achieved high school graduation consider this. It is possible the district where you attended but did not complete high school may help pay for courses leading to your high school diploma.

     To find out if that district may has a program which will help pay for the courses you need to complete your high school education call their district offices. Explain you had been a student. Tell them you left before you graduated but you are now in a community college. Ask if they have a program to help former students complete the requirements for a diploma.

     The second possible source of funding may be the community college you are currently attending. That schools administration office may have the information you need. You simply need to ask.

     Planet College encourages all students who have not graduated from high school to follow through and investigate every possibility.  Because you are older now and can make more thoughtful choices you do not need to continue to be handicapped or impeded by your past behaviors. Go ahead, check it out. Planet College emphasizes, Always Ask.
