STUDENT ELIGIBILITY
Family income must qualify for the free or reduced lunch program ($49,250 for a family of four in 2021-22).
An appointed BOOST Advisory Board establishes categories of eligible applicants ranked by family income by the Maryland State Department of Education and determines award amounts for categories of eligible students who will receive a scholarship; priority is given to students who received a scholarship the preceding year and to students who are transferring from a public to a nonpublic school.
