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

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?

I would think that, given the income caps for the program, that you'd separately qualify for financial aid at most private schools, although there's no guarantee of financial aid at any school. Given the unique nature of this funding source, you'd want to talk with the financial aid office at schools as you go through the application process.

I'm curious, where do most students on these scholarships go? Is it Big 3, or more of the less competitive schools? Or are they spread out all over the place?
