Opportunity Scholarship Program

The Opportunity Scholarship Program provides financial aid to students in certain areas, allowing them to attend private, often private religious, schools instead of public schools. Funded by state dollars and donations, the program aims to give families more educational choices, especially where local public schools may have limited options or performance issues. Recipients usually have to meet income or academic criteria. The program emphasizes parental choice and aims to improve student outcomes by enabling access to different educational environments.
