Legitimate online high school diplomas require tuition or fees. However, there are options that might lower the cost, such as:
* Free or reduced-cost public online high schools: Some states offer tuition-free online high schools to their residents. These are typically public schools, and eligibility depends on residency. Check with your state's department of education.
* Financial aid: Accredited online high schools may offer financial aid or scholarships to students who qualify based on financial need or academic merit. You'll need to apply directly to the school.
* Free resources to supplement learning: While you can't get a *diploma* for free, many free online resources can help you prepare for a high school equivalency test (like the GED or HiSET) which will grant you a credential recognized as equivalent to a high school diploma. Khan Academy and other educational websites provide free curriculum materials.
In short, the idea of a completely free, accredited online high school diploma is unrealistic. Focus your search on finding affordable options, exploring financial aid, or pursuing a high school equivalency test. Always verify the accreditation of any program before enrolling.
