  • or  Affidavit attesting to the completion of a high school program in a homeschool setting approved under state law, or—if state law does not require a homeschooled student to obtain a completion credential, completion of a high school education in a homeschool setting that qualifies as an exemption from compulsory attendance requirements under state law).
  • or  Enrollment in an “eligible career pathway program”. (See https://fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-center/library/electronic-announcements/2021-01-15/ability-benefit-frequently-asked-questions-ea-id-ope-announcements-21-02)
