What Maryland pays, and what that leaves you

MD
Maryland BOOST Scholarship Scholarship
$1,200 to $4,750 in 2025-26, plus $3,000 for high school students These are 2025-26 amounts. The advisory board sets new amounts each summer and had not posted 2026-27 figures in writing when we checked. The larger awards go to students coming from public school on free meals. Students receiving special education services got an extra award equal to their base award.

Figures read from each program’s official pages, 2026-09-21. Sources and how to apply

What would you pay?

BOOST pays between $1,200 and $7,750 depending on your household. We start with the lower figure. Change it if you know yours. An award can never be more than the school actually charges. This is arithmetic, not a quote.

Get one email when applications open

Most programs open once a year, and several ran out of money or seats in 2026. Pick your state (you are looking at Potomac) and we will email you the day the next window opens, with the official link. That is the only email you get.

One email per application window. No calls, no sharing your details.

Which Potomac private schools take BOOST?

22 of the 120 schools on this page are on the state’s official BOOST list. They are marked with a green check and listed first. Schools marked “BOOST school” appear on the Maryland State Department of Education list of participating nonpublic schools for 2026-27, updated April 2026.

Sometimes, but do not count on it. BOOST pays $1,200 to $4,750 in 2025-26, plus $3,000 for high school students, and schools set their own prices. Ask each school for tuition plus fees, then use the calculator on this page to see what is left for you to pay.
