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
