Baltimore, MD - May 4, 2017 - The application process is now underway for the BOOST (Broadening Options and Opportunities for Students Today) Scholarship Program.
Families with a household income that qualifies for the Free and Reduced-Price Meals (FARMs) program should apply for a scholarship for each of their school aged children entering kindergarten in fall 2017 (PLEASE NOTE: kindergarten is the grade before first grade and not nursery) through 12th grade.
The program is open to all income eligible students, and not only students who received a scholarship in 2016-2017.
Those who received a scholarship in 2016-2017 still MUST re-apply in order to get a 2017-2018 scholarship.

The deadline to submit an application is June 15, 2017 at 11:59 pm.
