The 2023 Appropriations Act Expands Eligibility for the Opportunity Scholarship Program On October 3, 2023, the North Carolina State Budget (House Bill 259) became law. The new law authorizes several changes to the State’s Opportunity Scholarship Program, which will begin with the 2024-2025 school year. Changes for the 2024-2025 school year include: Removal of the income cap for families to receive the scholarship; now all North Carolina students in kindergarten through 12th grade will be eligible for the Scholarship regardless of income. Prior public school enrollment is no longer a requirement for eligibility for the scholarship. A student’s scholarship amount will be based on household income. Scholarship amounts will range from approximately $3,000 to approximately $7,000. The Opportunity Scholarship application for the 2024-2025 school year will open on February 1, 2024.
