ICR.

Abstract: The DC Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP) is currently
authorized under the Scholarships for Opportunity and Results Act
(SOAR). Under the SOAR Act, the US Department of Education awards a
grant to a non-profit to administer scholarships to students who reside
in the District of Columbia and come from households whose incomes do
not exceed 185% of the poverty line (300% of the poverty line for
returning students). The current administrator of the OSP is Serving
Our Children (SOC). Under the law, priority is given to siblings of
students in the program, and students who are currently attending low-
performing schools, as defined by Title I. To assist in the student
selection and assignment process, the information collected is used to
determine the eligibility of those students who are interested in the
available scholarships.
