Scholarships
Starting in spring 2024, we are pleased to offer the Saint Gregory Scholarship annually to one graduating senior who has completed the requirements of the Saint Gregory of Nyssa Scholars program. Get more information at our Scholarships & Grants page.
A Saint Gregory Scholar is any homeschooled high school senior who has actively participated in Saint Emmelia Ministries for at least one year. Find out how to get involved here!
Advising
By God’s grace, we are excited to offer college/career advising to high school students. We recognize and firmly believe that traditional college is not the right option for everyone. Whether you are interested in college, tech/trade school, or going straight into the workforce, we are looking forward to walking beside you on that journey!
Mindi Popovich-Schneider, the Saint Emmelia Ministries Assistant, also serves as a college advisor/counselor at a private Classical Christian school. She is thrilled to offer these services to homeschool families. If you have particular questions email us at office@saintemmelia.com. If you would like more help preparing for post-graduation, such as an advising session, start by filling out this form.
