Maryland’s Broadening Options and Opportunities for Students Today Program, or BOOST, provides scholarship assistance to lower-income parents to enable them to choose Catholic schools as an educational option for their children. The Maryland General Assembly created BOOST in 2016 to provide students with scholarships toward attending a nonpublic school in order to choose the best educational option for them. It provides scholarships for students who are eligible for the free or reduced–price lunch program to attend eligible nonpublic schools. Awards are granted based on household income, with the lowest income served first. The deadline to apply is April 17
