Learn24 OST Scholarship Program

The Learn24 OST Scholarship Program, administered by the Greater Washington Community Foundation, helps students access Out-of-School-Time programs during the summer or school year. This funding is designed to cover educational, health, and well-being activities outside of regular school hours.

To qualify, applicants must live in the District of Columbia or be eligible to attend a D.C. public or public charter school. Additionally, students must be identified as "at-risk," which includes qualifying for TANF or SNAP, experiencing homelessness, being in the foster care system, or being an over-age high school student. General education applicants must be in grades K-12 and aged 21 or younger, while special education students must be aged 22 or younger.

Because this program funds out-of-school activities rather than traditional college tuition, it operates independently of the FAFSA or state financial aid applications. Award amounts range from $1,000 to $10,000. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and must be submitted online.
