For many high school juniors and seniors who were homeschooled, the college application process can be a bit overwhelming. With terms like transcripts, ACTs, transfer credits, and more, it’s easy to feel lost. That’s why this session, led by a student who has recently gone through the process, will provide a comprehensive review of the major areas you need to cover to prepare your homeschooled student for college applications. By the end of the session, you’ll feel confident and equipped to help your student succeed. Luke will be joined by his father, Jeff, for this workshop.

Luke Ertzberger is a homeschool alumnus and college freshman and brings a unique perspective to education. Accepted at all colleges he applied to, scoring in the 99th percentile on the ACT and CLT exams, and receiving the NCHE academic scholarship in 2023, his homeschool journey has been a foundation for success. Luke is currently studying computer science through Regent University Online. As a recent homeschool graduate, Luke offers insightful information regarding integrating technology into your homeschool. He doesn’t have a Ph.D. or 30 years of experience to share, but what he does have is a recent homeschool grad’s perspective and tips.

Jeff Ertzberger currently serves as a faculty member and director of technology in the Watson College of Education at UNC Wilmington, where he teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in instructional design and instructional technology.
