Scholarships
Published April 10, 2008
The number of organizations offering scholarships for private school students is limited. Always ask if an SFO has been set up in your state. Scholarship Funding Organizations are permitted by an act of the state legislature and allow corporations to donate tax-deductible funds for K-12 scholarships. Most admissions officers will be able to advise you about scholarships available in your area.
