Cleveland Scholarship Program Schools (95)

Before you pick a school

The award: Up to $6,166 a year for grades K-8 and $8,408 for high school, paid toward tuition only. If tuition is higher, the family may owe the difference.
Who qualifies: Students who live within the boundaries of the Cleveland Municipal School District and will enter kindergarten through 12th grade in 2026-27. Students already in private school may be eligible.
When to apply: February 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027. Staff at the participating private school enter the application with you. Students renew each year.
What you pay: Families at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines with a child in grades K-8 do not pay tuition beyond the scholarship. Registration, materials and other fees are still the family’s.
Being on the list is not a seat. Ask each school whether it has room in your child's grade and what you would still owe after the award.
