@zanderlewis Thank you so much for your patience while our GitHub Education team reviewed! 💛 They wanted to point you toward the following information and docs regarding applying as a homeschooler -

The short answer is yes, homeschoolers can apply for and get access to Student benefits (Student Developer Pack).

• Student Developer Pack - Common Rejection Reasons
• About the Student Developer Pack
• How to apply
• What if my application isn’t approved?
• Student Developer Pack Partner offer FAQs & full list
• What is the GitHub Community Exchange
• GitHub Education Overview for Students

• Managing your profile ReadMe
• How to Create a GitHub Profile READ ME

Yes, home-schooled students can apply for the GitHub Student Developer Pack. To apply, you'll need to provide documentation that verifies your current enrollment status as a home-schooled student, such as:
A current transcript
A pdf from your school board that verifies you are home-schooled
GitHub has established eligibility requirements to prevent abuse of the program. While the pack is primarily intended for students enrolled in educational institutions, GitHub also considers applications from homeschooled students and learners from non-traditional learning environments.

We hope this information helps!
