You could have be nicer instead of just shutting down a parents hope for educational assistance.
Feel threatened?

(New PP) Feel stupid, given such moronic response to an obviously relevant comment?

To shut a conversation short by saying the deadline has passed without further discussion feel to me like saying: "sorry, you missed the train."
Anyhow, other posters have come out with great info.

Call the financial aid offices at the schools where you are interested.

Someone had already posted the link to the website that has information on how to apply. I wasn't trying to shut them down--I was just trying to let him/her know that it wouldn't be an option for the upcoming school year--I had assumed (correctly or not) that they were posting the question now as part of their process of making school decisions for the fall.

The scholarship information site has a list of all schools that are willing to accept the vouchers.

You can apply online or at events run by OSP: http://dcscholarships.org/program/calendar.asp (calendar of upcoming events).

You also have to separately apply to a private school and be accepted.

If you get one of these, what about schools that cost more than $12,572? Even the Catholic HSs are more expensive than that. Do you have to pay the difference?

OP: I used to work in admissions at a school that accepted the scholarships. It was made clear to me that any child who got one would basically automatically (with application) get FA to equal the gap between the scholarship and tuition. My impression was that schools that accepted the scholarship were required to promise that they would do that. Now, that was back when the program first started so I'm not sure what the policy is now and/or if that was indeed the policy then.
