Would you, or a family you know, benefit from a Lifeline Scholarship to escape Pennsylvania’s failing and unsafe public schools? If so, please tell us right now.

We’re putting together a waiting list of families who would be interested in applying for Lifeline Scholarships, also called the Pennsylvania Award for Student Success (PASS) Program, currently being considered by lawmakers in Harrisburg.

Lifeline Scholarships/PASS would provide eligible students, those who attend one of the bottom 15 percent of underperforming schools in Pennsylvania, with money for “qualified education expenses,” including tuition, school-related fees, and special education services fees, at a nonpublic school.

If enacted, eligible K–8 students would receive $5,000 annually ($2,500 for half-day kindergarten), while eligible recipients in grades 9–12 would receive $10,000 annually that could go toward tuition to attend the school of their choice.

Tell us if your child, or a student you know, could benefit from Lifeline Scholarships/PASS.

More than 250,000 kids in Pennsylvania remain trapped in failing schools.

Lawmakers in Harrisburg need reminding that Pennsylvania parents desperately need these scholarships to help their children receive the best possible education. They need to see just how overwhelming the demand is for Lifeline Scholarships/PASS.

The more families that show their support, the better chance there is that lawmakers will fund the Lifeline Scholarship/PASS Program.

Lifeline Scholarships are crucial toward helping kids escape failing schools. We need to show the program has support across Pennsylvania.

Let us know if your family could benefit from Lifeline Scholarships/PASS now.
