Scholarship Information

Scholarship Information

We encourage all families to search for scholarships. The list of available scholarships is listed below. There are several outside agencies and organizations that offer tuition assistance for children attending private and Christian schools. Please read each organization’s guidelines carefully. They each have their own guidelines, requirements, documentation needed, and due dates.

Foundations have two types of scholarships: EITC and OSTC. Both are based on income. EITC is available to all PA families that qualify by income. OSTC provides funds only for families living in low-performing school districts. To view the complete list of low-performing schools and the qualifying schools near GWCS (highlighted in yellow), click this link: 2025-2026 Low Performing Schools.
