Opportunity: New Scholarship Families
Welcome
Congratulations on being selected to receive an Opportunity Scholarship for the 2024-25 school year! See below for important information about your scholarship offer, deadlines, and responsibilities.
Accept or Decline Your Award
You will have a deadline to accept or decline your student’s award in MyPortal. If you have multiple children who received an award offer, you must respond to each separately. For assistance on how to accept or decline an award, see the short video provided below. The slide tutorial “After an Award: What are the next steps?” contains instructions on how to respond to an award offer, choose a school, complete income verification, and find out how and when your student’s scholarship funds are sent to their school.
