A Financial Bridge

OSF helps Oklahoma’s low-income families gain access to the learning environment that’s right for them

OUR MISSION

OSF helps low-income families bridge the financial gap between what they can afford and what is best suited for their student for specialized PreK-12 education. Our program helps kids of all backgrounds, from those struggling with bullying and behavioral challenges to learning disabilities, substance abuse, and homelessness.

How It Works

Oklahomans donate funds to OSF for scholarships

OSF accepts donations, manages applications, ensures compliance and awards scholarships

Donors receive state tax credits and federal/state tax deductions
