My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Indiana
I'm 15 and currently a sophomore in high school. My parents, guidance counselor, and principal have all talked over my idea of graduating after my junior year, and all have approved. I'm currently working on taking the necessary classes to do so.
The reason I wanted to do so is because if I graduate early, my counselor said I'm given a $5,000-$10,000 scholarship, depending on my grades. (My current GPA is 3.95). I wanted to use what would be the rest of my senior year to work more hours at my job and be able to save for college. The only problem is that I was recently informed that I can't use the scholarship if I don't start college right away. I plan to attend a college in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. (Before someone brings this up, because I know someone will, yes I am aware they speak French in Quebec. I've taken French for 5 years and by the time I've even passed a college level French exam.)
I talked to my parents about what my counselor said about the scholarship, and my mom said no. She said she won't let me go to college at 17. I don't exactly think it's fair to keep your child from getting an education, which is why I turned towards emancipation. I'm currently saving money from my job to be able to save money to be able to support myself, and I also did the math of how much money I would have with a job in Montreal, if I'm successful in emancipation. (You can view a spreadsheet with the math here: http://ift.tt/1dwH5GX ; I got my average costs for things here: http://ift.tt/1YwoOAh) And of course, I would find a job up there before leaving.
I've already looked up tuition for my top 2 college choices, (Concordia University and University of Montreal) and given my grades, the scholarship would pay for my first year of college, and possibly part of the second. During that time, I can save up for paying for the rest of my tuition. I also hope to get other scholarships as well to help.
I've also looked up emancipation laws in my state, (http://ift.tt/1NBRmjG) and one part says:
(a) The juvenile court may emancipate a child under section 1(5) of this chapter if the court finds that the child:
(1) wishes to be free from parental control and protection and no longer needs that control and protection;
(2) has sufficient money for the child's own support;
(3) understands the consequences of being free from parental control and protection; and
(4) has an acceptable plan for independent living.
So this was basically a very long and complex way to ask, is this a valid reason for emancipation, and if so, what are my chances of getting emancipated?
