Ever wanted to see your homeschool student in the spotlight?
Has your high school senior won a scholarship, received an award, started a business, excelled in a competition, or achieved something worth celebrating?
Now is your chance to share their story!
For years, we’ve featured homeschool students and their accomplishments in our newsletter‘s Student Spotlight. Now, we’re expanding those success stories online and across social media so even more people can celebrate the achievements of our homeschool community.
We’re also excited to introduce MPE Moment, our new student-run media platform. One of its columns, Senior Feature, highlights current high school seniors and their unique accomplishments, experiences, future plans, and homeschool journeys. If you’re a current high school senior, we’d love to consider you for a feature!
Submission Guidelines
- Compete the questionnaire below.
- Attach a high-resolution photo (ideally 1 MB or larger).
- Include contact information where we can reach you for additional details (email address and phone number).
If you would prefer your submission to appear only in the MPE Moment, and not on our website or social media channels, please indicate that on the submission form.
Thanks, and we look forward to hearing from you!

- 2017 Spotlight: “Congratulations to Kayley Brethour and Kayla Cossins, May 2017 homeschool graduates who have received top college scholarships! Kayley, daughter of Clay and Kristin Brethour, will be attending Kansas State University. She received the Vanier Family Business Administration Best of Kansas Scholarship. It is the largest and most selective scholarship award made by Kansas State University’s College of Business. The scholarship recognizes students who have been truly outstanding, both academically and as student leaders, during their high school career. Kayla, daughter of Rob and Denise Cossins, will be attending MidAmerica Nazarene University. She was awarded a full-tuition scholarship given to high-achieving high school seniors during the Scholarship Challenge Weekend. Both scholarships were based on excellence in academics, leadership, and service; required applications, essays, and interviews; and are renewable for 4 years. Well done, Kayley and Kayla!” (See the post on our Facebook page.)
