About the Program

Got questions? We’ve got answers! Since 2014, we’ve been helping families across North Carolina navigate the application process for the Opportunity Scholarship and access educational funding.

How to Apply

The SEAA has issued Opportunity Scholarship offers for the 2025-26 school year to eligible families who applied during the priority period. To secure their award, families must accept or decline it in MyPortal by April 18, 2025.

The application will remain open until further notice. Families who apply after the priority period will be considered for awards on a first-come, first-served basis, depending on available funds, after renewal and priority applicants. These families can expect notification by late May regarding award availability.
