This scholarship is based on your household income and the number of dependents living in the home.  Every family will be awarded this scholarship, provided you complete all state requirements. Families earning less than 450% of the poverty line may be awarded the full amount of scholarship valued at $6166 per child. Income over 450% will be awarded accordingly.
