Scholarship Program Overview
The President has declared it law in our country that
the United States shall have, "No Child Left Behind." This is our mission. We exist to
provide scholarships for financially disadvantaged children in Pennsylvania to attend any
public, parochial or non-public school of their choice.
Our 1-year scholarship provides assistance of 80% of the tuition balance, up
to a maximum of $3,000 annually.
Here's how it works:
along with complete verification of their household income.
2 Once a child has been awarded a
scholarship,
a tuition statement is obtained from the school they have chosen.
3 After determining the amount of the
scholarship award,
CEOAMERICA, Lehigh
Valley releases funds directly to the school.
(Scholarships continue for 1 year provided the family's annual household
income verifications do not disqualify the recipient.)
The schools
provide CEOAMERICA, Lehigh Valley
with report cards and regular progress reports on every scholarship
student. This provides ongoing and open evaluation of the success of our scholarship
program and the impact that it is making in the lives of these children.
We have equal opportunity in public accommodations, employment
and housing. Isn't a child's education at least as important?

Qualified grade levels for scholarship awards are 2nd thru 12th grade.
Families with household incomes of up to $50,000 gross may apply.
Scholarship awarding is based on a prioritized selection of the qualified
applicants. Scholarships are awarded first to transferring, lowest income, and
youngest grade children.
Students currently in private school do not qualify for a CEO America scholarship.
Only students wishing to transfer from Public to Private school or a better public school
are considered.
We serve children throughout Pennsylvania; though, contributors
can designate that their investments serve children in a specific area first.
We directly market our 1-year scholarships to qualifying children and their parents
who are seeking a better educational opportunity. A parent may choose any school
that meets the mandatory attendance requirements of Pennsylvania.

Valley is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit scholarship organization.
We do not work for any special interest groups, labor or religious organizations. We do
