Hi, Lily !
There are two things that Indiana home schooled students can apply for,
One being a scholarship and the other a tax deduction for your parents.
For the scholarship, do a search for the Vivian Byar Community Service Scholarship for which you can apply for a scholarship in the amount of $1,000.00. This scholarship is for students that are doing significant community service volunteering.
Let your parents know that they can apply for The Private School/Homeschool Deduction Program for a deduction or credit on their taxes. Sometimes they give a cash award of $1,835. Do a search online for both of these to obtain the details.
You should also connect with the Indiana Association of Home Educators and the Indiana Foundation for Home Schooling as they have resources and information that you and your parents may find useful for secondary school homeschooling.
For college, there are many scholarship and grant websites you can find online through a search and apply for those when the time comes to go to college. Read up on some now so you can just get an idea of the information and when to apply.
I hope this helps and I wish you all the best !

I've found one of the best places to research scholarships is fastweb.com. You will need to fill out an extensive questionnaire, but it will use that information to match you with scholarship opportunities that are specifically tailored to your qualifications, including some rather obscure scholarships you've probably never heard of! In addition to scholarships for homeschoolers, you'll find scholarships based on hobbies, ancestry, memberships, future goals or interests, or any number of things. Good luck!
Thanks for the help.
