How Tuition Assistance Works
The Guardsmen Scholarship Program provides 50% of the private school's tuition,
up to $2,000 per year. Tuition checks are cut directly to the school of the
parents' or guardian's choice. Scholarship awards are for one year, but
scholarship recipients will continue receiving the scholarship each year
until they graduate if they continue to meet the
program's requirements. When funding is available,
siblings of Guardsmen Scholarship recipients will also be awarded
scholarships as long as they meet all of the
eligibility requirements. Children entering
grades K-6 who have not received a Guardsmen Scholarship in the prior
year and who do not have a sibling in the program will be placed in a
lottery to be held in May. Guardsmen Scholarship recipients must not also
be receiving tuition assistance from BASIC Fund, CEO-Oakland, or Independent
Scholarship Fund; however, they may receive school-based financial aid. |
