Pennsylvania Opportunity Scholarship (OSTC) participating schools

Before you pick a school

• The award: Set by each scholarship organization. Opportunity Scholarships go up to $8,500, or $15,000 for a student with a disability. EITC has no statewide maximum, and no scholarship may exceed tuition and fees. Students at schools in the economically disadvantaged schools supplement can get up to $2,000 more ($4,000 in secondary school). The state’s September 2026 OSTC guidelines restate the $8,500 and $15,000 maximums. EdChoice reports average awards of $2,613 (EITC) and $2,699 (OSTC) in 2022-23.
• Who qualifies: Pennsylvania students in kindergarten through 12th grade whose household income is no more than $122,322 plus $21,531 for the student and each other dependent. That is the state’s current limit; through at least July 2026 the state showed $116,055 plus $20,428, so ask your scholarship organization which limit it applies. Higher limits apply to students with disabilities. For an Opportunity Scholarship the student must also live in the attendance boundary of a low-achieving public school, one in the bottom 15 percent.
• When to apply: You apply to a scholarship organization, not to the state, and each one sets its own dates. Many schools work with one or more organizations, so ask the school first.
• 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.
