I have never applied to a private school before. CSF provided a list of private schools in applicant areas, along with other useful materials to help families make informed choices. The national poverty level and the Federal Reduced Lunch Program guidelines form the basis for the CSF scale. In most of the 41 cities and 3 states, CSF is working with local programs to administer the scholarships. In all remaining areas of the country, CSF administrates the scholarships directly.
Most private schools have simple admission requirements, and are actively seeking more applicants.
And you can apply at more than one school. That will not affect your scholarship in any way. We want to help children who may not be doing well in their current school. Since CSF helps children in grades K-8, there is time to help them improve academically and work up to the best of their ability. Private schools may make a big difference in the lives of these children.
