How MOST Awards Scholarships
and Provides Tuition Assistance

Students eligible to apply for a MOST scholarship include those who will be entering Pre-K3, Pre-K4, kindergarten, or first grade during the 2008-09 school year. Applications for older students are accepted only for those students with documented disabilities who will be attending schools that have programs catering to their special needs.

Qualification for MOST scholarships is based on financial need. Depending on the family's income (see eligibility scale), scholarships can provide up to 75% of private school tuition (up to a maximum of $1,850 per elementary-age child for a single year). The scholarship continues through eighth grade as long as the family remains financially eligible and is in good standing with the school. Students who have reached the high-school level in the MOST program have the opportunity to apply for merit-based scholarship assistance up to $2,150 per year.

Parents are responsible for paying the balance of the tuition costs or applying for other assistance. In accepting a scholarship, parents promise to ensure their child's attendance at school and to keep their accounts paid up.
