Opportunity Scholarship Program
On May 14, the DC Children and Youth Investment Trust Corporation (Trust) assumed the role of administrator for the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program, which provides scholarships to more than 1,300 students attending 46 schools in the District of Columbia.
The DC Opportunity Scholarship Program has provided school choice for low-income families in the form of scholarships for children to attend K-12 non-public schools within the District’s boundaries. There are currently 55 participating schools in the program. The scholarships, which total as much as $7,500 per child, are for families living at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level (about $40,000 for a family of four). The scholarship covers most or all of families’ costs in tuition, transportation and school fees.
The program is no longer accepting scholarship applications.
