Common family questions
- What is an SGO?
- A Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) is a nonprofit that receives tax-credit donations and uses them to fund K-12 scholarships. Some states call them STOs, SSOs, or SFOs, but they all serve the same purpose.
- Does my family need to be low-income to qualify?
- It depends on the state. Some states like Florida have universal eligibility, while others set income thresholds at 200-400% of the Federal Poverty Level. Several states also expand eligibility for students with IEPs. Use our screener above to check your specific situation.
- What expenses can a scholarship cover?
- Most programs cover tuition and fees at participating private schools. Some states allow broader uses like tutoring, educational therapies, curriculum materials, and transportation — especially for students with IEPs or special needs.
- Can I apply to multiple SGOs?
- Yes, in most states you can apply to multiple SGOs. However, you generally cannot receive overlapping scholarships for the same expenses. Check with individual SGOs for their specific policies.
- How much are the scholarships worth?
- Award amounts vary widely by state and program — from around $1,700 to over $25,000 per year. Many states base the amount on per-pupil funding formulas, and students with IEPs often qualify for higher awards.
