Finding Home only covers a single year of high school and no college. Ernest has 3 stories that cover both high school and college in the US: Survivor, Runaway, and Play Ball.
I've a few stories that get close to that but Finding Home has him still in high school for the full story. Although I think it's a great read.

I think the most likely candidates of my stories you want are:
Play Ball! where he goes to high school and college in the USA then becomes a pro baseball player.

Runaway! where he escapes the government harpies to Window Rock, Arizona and attends high school there then college in Albuquerque.

The Survivor stories where he goes to live with his grandfather in Texas while he goes school and later college in the USA in the second story.

It could also be Odd Man in College where he's finished high school in Australia and goes to college in Atlanta.

edit to add: dang, taking the time to give a small summary and the links allowed Sparky-1953 to beat me.
working on it. had it half finished when the Gestapo attacked and spent 5 years screwing me about, since then I've not yet fully recovered and much of what I wrote has to be rewritten due to International events since I first wrote it.
edit to add: I had 15 works in progress when the Gestapo arrived, and it took me four years to get most of them back, but not all, and now I've 35 works in progress I'm slowly working on, despite finishing a few of the original 15. Slow going, but getting there.

Sometimes form beats expediency and you are always in good form. ;)
