Finding the Right College for You

Here at the University of Valley Forge (UVF), we are committed to helping every student find a college that is right for them. We know that finding the right fit can be a challenge. Learn what makes UVF unique and let us help you discover your purpose for His glory.

UVF aims to train the next generation of disciple-making servant leaders, integrating both higher education and spiritual growth. Our undergraduate degree programs include Arts & Sciences, Behavioral Science, Business Administration, Digital Media, Education, Intercultural Studies, Ministry Leadership & Theology, and Music.

Our students have a hands-on learning environment, where professors can directly support their needs. We have a 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio. Students can build meaningful relationships with their professors and peers, receiving personalized attention in their courses and unique opportunities to practice their skills and outside of the classroom. Morgan McNatt, a 2024 graduate, says “My professors here at UVF have helped me grow so much as a student. I love that the smaller class sizes here allow for discussions and questions, because I have had so many great conversations with my professors.” 

Personalized Experience 

Through internships, travel team ministries, and other serving opportunities, students are being equipped for their respective fields. Hannah Kopec, a 2024 Elementary Education graduate, shared “I have grown professionally, academically, and spiritually through my course work, field experience, and investment from the professors. This degree has not only prepared me to teach young children in different subject areas, but it has taught me to love them, care for them, and serve them through challenging home lives, academic struggles, and difficult situations.” 

Support Through Scholarships 

We know that planning college finances can be intimidating. That’s why 100% of our incoming students receive financial aid. UVF has numerous scholarship opportunities to ease the stress that finances can often bring. Beyond scholarships, UVF also offers countless on-campus jobs to help supplement costs. 

David Markland, a student studying Business Administration, shares, “Being able to receive scholarships means I can spend more time on campus doing what God has called me to do.” 

It is important to follow God’s call and trust in His provision. We are here to help! Reach out to admissions@valleyforge.edu to talk to an Admissions Counselor!

Admissions FAQs

Yes, most colleges and universities accept homeschool transcripts. You’ll need to create a transcript that lists all courses taken, grades earned, and a brief description of each subject. Many colleges may ask for additional documentation to verify the curriculum or learning outcomes. 

A homeschool transcript should include the following:   

  • Student’s name and contact information   
  • A list of courses by grade level (9th-12th)   
  • The grades and credits earned for each course   
  • GPA  

You can use online tools or templates to help structure your transcript.

No, colleges understand that homeschool students may follow a non-traditional curriculum. You are not required to use a specific homeschooling program, but the courses should be rigorous and meet the academic standards of the college. 

UVF is test-optional, . It’s best to check each college’s specific testing policy. If you submit them, we will use those test scores for placement into math and English courses.  If you don’t submit test scores, we have placement tests that we designed that you will take instead. 

Homeschool students are encouraged to get involved in extracurricular activities (sports, clubs, volunteering, internships, etc.). For letters of recommendation, you can ask mentors, tutors, employers, or community leaders who are familiar with your work and character. We understand that your experiences may look different from those of traditional students. 

Homeschool students typically don’t have a GPA or class rank based on a standardized grading system. You may be asked to provide your grading scale (e.g., A = 90-100, B = 80-89, etc.) and explain how you evaluate coursework. . 

If your grading was pass/fail, a work sample does help us evaluate the rigor of your coursework. 

Yes, homeschooled students are eligible for the same federal and state financial aid (e.g., FAFSA) as other students. You are also eligible for institutional scholarships. 

You may be asked to provide documentation showing that your homeschooling complies with the laws of your state (e.g., notice of intent to homeschool, records of testing or assessments). We are familiar with most states’ homeschool laws. 

Yes, you can still apply as a homeschooled student if you were homeschooled for any portion of high school. You’ll need to explain the structure of your education and provide transcripts for both your public/private school and homeschool years, if applicable. 

A GED is not required if you have completed your high school education through homeschooling, provided you can submit a detailed transcript and meet the other application requirements. However, if you took the GED, you may submit those scores as part of your application if they are beneficial. 

We value the self-motivation and discipline that often come with homeschooling.  Our homeschooled students typically excel in academic curiosity, resilience, and ability to work independently. 

We always encourage students to come for an on-campus visit.  It can be a great opportunity to showcase your personality and explain your homeschooling background in person. It’s also a chance to ask questions about the college and demonstrate your interest in the school. 

Homeschooling allows you to tailor your education to your interests and strengths. We appreciate the diversity of perspectives that homeschool students bring, so don’t be afraid to highlight how your education has been non-traditional but still rigorous and meaningful. 

If you’ve taken college-level courses during high school (dual enrollment), make sure to include those credits on your application. You’ll need to request official transcripts from the college(s) where you took courses and submit them to your prospective schools. 

Some scholarships are specifically for homeschool graduates. These may be offered by homeschool associations, local foundations, or certain colleges. It’s a good idea to research scholarships in your area or inquire about opportunities at the colleges you’re applying to.
