BECOME A PARTNER SCHOOL

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I would like my school to become an OSN partner school. How do I get involved and promote the program to families?

We are excited to partner with qualified Nebraska nonpublic schools to give more educational opportunities to families across the state! Please fill out the contact form above or reach out to us at info@nebraskaopportunity.org.

What requirements does my school have to meet to admit students participating in the Opportunity Scholarships Program?

A qualified school is any nonpublic, privately operated elementary or secondary school in Nebraska that:

  • Operates as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.

  • Complies with the anti-discrimination provisions of 42 U.S.C. 1981.

  • Complies with all health and life safety laws or codes that apply to privately operated schools in Nebraska. 

  • Fulfills the applicable accreditation or approval requirements established by the State Board of Education.

When will scholarships be available for families?

The Opportunity Scholarships Act (LB753) went into effect January 1, 2024. OSN will be able to receive tax credit contributions for scholarship funds then. Scholarship applications for the 2024-2025 school year are available now! Please contact us if you do not have the application link.

Will students currently attending my school qualify for a scholarship? 

An eligible student must be entering kindergarten or ninth grade in a qualified school or transferring from a Nebraska public school at which the student was enrolled for at least one semester immediately preceding the enrollment in a qualified school. However, while many students already enrolled in private school might not qualify, siblings of eligible students may qualify for an opportunity scholarship.

Will every student participating in the Opportunity Scholarships Program get a full tuition scholarship?

The amount of every awarded scholarship will be determined based on each family’s need and available funds. It will be important for OSN and families to know the cost of tuition and fees to attend your school.

My family participates in a Rule 13 “micro school”, homeschool, or co-op. Can students attending this school qualify for a scholarship through this program?

Scholarships will be awarded to students admitted to qualified schools following the requirements listed above. The Opportunity Scholarships Program does not currently extend to students wishing to attend a Rule 13 school, however, there are other school choice policies that could benefit these families if passed in Nebraska. If you are interested in becoming an advocate for empowering more families with educational freedom, please reach out to us at info@nebraskaopportunity.org.
