Common questions

How do I know if we qualify?
Households up to 300% of area median income are eligible. The quick checker tells you in under a minute, and your verification is good for the school year.
What can a scholarship cover?
Tuition and fees at private schools; tutoring, technology, transportation, and more at any school, including public and charter.
When will I hear back?
We confirm eligibility and notify you by email and text after the application window closes for your community.
Do donors choose my child?
No. All awards are made by the Foundation under federal eligibility rules. Donors never see student information.
Is my information shared?
Your documents are used only by our verification team to confirm eligibility. They are never shown to your school or to donors.
What happens at renewal?

Propose a program

Class trips, devices, tutoring blocks. You propose the program; the Foundation awards individual scholarships to eligible students within it, as federal law requires.

How it works

  1. You propose a program your students need.
  2. Families opt in and we confirm each student's federal eligibility.
  3. The Foundation awards individual scholarships and pays the school or provider directly.

Every award is made by the Foundation to an individual eligible student; schools nominate and organize, the Foundation decides.
