When I was applying to college I considered Rutgers, the NJ state school, in part because I qualified in test scores and GPA for their merit scholarship. I soon discovered that these were only available for school kids (public and private). I knew a couple of homeschooled kids who dealt with this issue–one of them had perfect SATS and was a science whiz. In some states, homeschoolers have changed their education approach in order to qualify for state merit scholarships. Now it looks as if merit scholarships may bite the dust thanks to the economic crisis.
