Frequently asked questions
Does Smartious help Athens families apply to UGA Honors College?
Yes — UGA Honors College is one of the most competitive honors programmes in the Southeast. Cambridge A-Level rigour particularly strengthens UGA Honors applications, and we provide free Common App and UGA-specific essay guidance, recommendation letters, and HOPE/Zell Miller Scholarship preparation. Many Athens homeschool graduates also use UGA Early College access (available to area homeschoolers via UGA's outreach programmes).
Can Athens homeschool families dual-enroll at UGA or Athens Tech?
Yes. Georgia's Move On When Ready programme allows homeschool students 16+ to take free college courses at UGA, Athens Technical College, and Piedmont College.

UGA Early College accepts well-prepared younger students through select pathways.
