Overview & More Informations

The Washington Opportunity Scholarship (WOS) is a state-funded scholarship program that provides financial assistance to eligible students attending private K-12 schools in Washington state. The program was created by the Washington State Legislature in 2019 and is administered by the Washington State Treasurer's Office.

To be eligible for a WOS scholarship, students must meet the following criteria:

* Be a resident of Washington state
* Be enrolled in a private K-12 school in Washington state
* Have a family income that is at or below 130% of the federal poverty level
* Meet other eligibility requirements, such as academic achievement and financial need

The amount of a WOS scholarship is based on the student's family income and the cost of tuition at the private school they are attending. The maximum scholarship amount is $7,500 per year.

The WOS program is designed to help low-income families afford the cost of private school tuition. The program is also intended to promote school choice and competition among private and public schools.

The WOS program has been controversial since its inception. Critics of the program argue that it diverts public funds away from public schools and that it does not effectively target low-income families. Supporters of the program argue that it provides much-needed financial assistance to families who want to send their children to private schools and that it promotes school choice and competition.

The WOS program is currently under review by the Washington State Legislature. The legislature is considering a number of changes to the program, including reducing the maximum scholarship amount and increasing the income eligibility threshold.
