All families with one or more children attending or applying for participating non-public schools are eligible to apply. For a list of schools in our programs, please click here. All scholarship programs have different guidelines and varied funding availability each year, so not all families who apply will be awarded.

*Indicates a stewardship school. Scholarships will only be granted to families that pay tuition.
**Not currently accepting new scholarship applications
While TTEF scholarships and MOScholars (Missouri’s ESA Program) are administered from the same team at TTEF, their eligibility, applications, deadlines and databases are completely separate. There are two applications for scholarships through the Today and Tomorrow Educational Foundation: one for ALL TTEF scholarship programs and a separate application for MOScholars. Families may apply for BOTH scholarships, however they will need to submit both the TTEF and MOScholars applications. If a student happens to be awarded both, only ONE scholarship will be permitted for the school year, per child. The award containing the highest dollar amount will be applied.
