Proud to be celebrating 20 years of changing lives through education!
About Us
School Choice Scholarships was established in 1998 by a group of community leaders with a vision: to ensure that children from low-income backgrounds could have access to quality education. Our founding members believed that all children should have the same opportunities for academic success. They realized that, too often, low-income families do not have a choice for their children's school.
By The Numbers
In the 20 years since our founding, School Choice Scholarships has more than $8 million to nearly 8,000 of Louisville's children to attend more than 60 private and parochial schools throughout the community. School Choice scholars consistently show enormous improvements in academic performance, their families report much improved behavior and enthusiasm for learning, and they are breaking the cycle of poverty.
