More Information
Because of limited funds, our enrollment period for the current school year is closed. We currently have awarded all available grants.
Do not be discouraged. If you are on our current wait list, as funding becomes available, we will notify you.
CHANGE IN FUTURE ENROLLMENT
We will go to the lottery method, meaning after an enrollment period to be announced as funds become available, we will draw at random from a pool of qualified applicants for scholarships.
Each family contributes the balance of the tuition (family may secures other financial aid, if necessary).
Parents are personally invested in their child's school. This program isn't a handout. The benefiting family also must make a sacrifice. They find it's worth the effort. The result is a family with a new commitment to their child's education.

Our Mission
The Austin Children's Educational Opportunity (CEO) Foundation
scholarship programwas started in 1993 by a group of business and community leaders to
empower Austin, Travis County families to choose the best school for their children.
All children should have an opportunity to get a great education regardless of their financial situation. Even the best public schools are not right for everyone. Students in at-risk schools cannot afford to move to higher performing schools. We provide scholarships of $1000 per year for three years for at-risk students to provide
a school choice not otherwise available. Families contribute to the tuition.
Parents are now invested with a strong commitment to their child's education.
