Maryland BOOST

Scholarships that close the achievement gap

Apply Now for a BOOST Scholarship | March 10 to May 9, 2025

We are a coalition of Maryland parents, educators, schools, and concerned citizens who support Maryland BOOST. This state-run, state-funded scholarship program is authorized by the Maryland legislature to provide educational options to income-eligible Maryland kids.

We believe students should have access to high quality, affordable and diverse educational options because education is not one-size-fits-all.

Demand for BOOST scholarships is at an all-time high. Join the Action Network to let our legislators know you want BOOST for students in Maryland.
