Scholarships
Awarded for Students to Attend a Private School
The Northwest Ohio Scholarship Fund has announced today that
they have awarded a total of 670 scholarships including 219
new scholarships for the 2017-2018 school year. The
eligibility scale for these scholarships is based on the
National School Lunch Program and all of the families
receiving the scholarship are at the 270% poverty level or
below.
The Northwest Ohio Scholarship Fund (NOSF) provides
privately funded scholarships to students from low-income
families in grades K-8 to attend a private school or for
homeschool expenses. Students can receive up to $1,500 per
year for tuition or $500 for homeschool expenses. Families
must reside in Allen, Crawford, Defiance, Erie, Fulton,
Hancock, Henry, Huron, Lucas, Ottawa, Paulding, Putnam,
Richland, Sandusky, Seneca, Van Wert, Williams, Wood and
Wyandot and are required to pay a minimum of $500 towards
their tuition.
Julie Thomas said this about her children’s NOSF
scholarships to attend Christ the King School, “The
Northwest Ohio Scholarship Fund has given my children the
opportunity to continue their education in an environment
that nurtures their spiritual growth and academic
excellence. With the help of these scholarships my family
can maintain stability in an otherwise tumultuous time of
our lives, and we are so thankful for that.”
Interested families can find more information about the
program and apply online on the NOSF website at

NOSF is a partner with the Children’s Scholarship Fund
(CSF). CSF provides scholarships to families in need so
they can choose the private school that best meets their
children’s needs. Every dollar raised locally gets matched
by CSF which provides additional dollars for scholarships.
Since the program began, more than 14,000 students have been
awarded a NOSF Scholarship.
