College Financial Aid and Scholarships is mostly based on your Standardized (SAT/ACT) test scores. Maybe some scholarships that don't take those tests into account might not be available but that is a small portion of them. I know several people with GEDs and very high SAT scores- they had no problem getting plently of Financial Aid.



My wife has argued the SAT/ACT scholarship route as well and has talked with colleges that confirm that is what they now mostly use.

I don’t know, I’m still old school and look at a GED (or home school diploma) as someone who couldn’t make the grade in a real school. I'm on the fence here
