Apply

Applications for the
2024-2025 School Year
are now closed.

The first step in applying for a scholarship from The Los Angeles Challenge is to complete the online application above. There are many applicants for a small number of scholarships. Only some of the applicants will be invited for an interview. Scholarships will be granted to some, but not all of the applicants who are ultimately interviewed. Our scholarships are up to $4,000 per year, per student and cover some but not all of the tuition costs of the schools below. Most of our students receive other scholarships as well. All parents will pay some portion of the tuition based on their financial ability.

Who is eligible?

Children from elementary school to high school make up the target age group. We typically support students who come from economically disadvantaged families and are currently attending Los Angeles public schools. They often live in housing projects and/or come from single-parent households.

How are candidates Chosen?

We work closely with schools, social organizations, and the religious community to identify deserving candidates. We also interview the candidate’s family, as the program is designed for them to benefit from the child’s private school education as well. Therefore, we’re inclined to select candidates whose families actively and enthusiastically support the Los Angeles Challenge and its objectives.
