The Maryland BOOST Program

The deadline to apply for a BOOST scholarship was extended to Monday, June 1, 2020. The original deadline was Friday, April 24, at midnight. The scholarships, available to qualifying low-income students, will assist parents in sending their children to a non-public school for the 2020-21 school year. The Maryland Department of Education announced the new date on April 1, while also noting that program administrators will continue to monitor coronavirus developments, should additional adjustments be necessary. 
 

2020-2021 BOOST Application is open! Applicants have until midnight on June 1, 2020 to submit applications. 
Broadening Options and Opportunities for Students Today (BOOST) is a State funded program that provides scholarships for some Maryland 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 application deadline is now June 1, 2020.
