Note to families applying for the ESA+ or Opportunity Scholarship programs: families have until March 6, 2025 at 5:00 PM to submit an application (scholarships will be awarded by randomly assigned lottery number, not according to application date). There is no advantage for applicants submitting on February 6. Families should apply in February, but earlier or later in February does not matter, as long as the application is submitted by March 6 for the priority deadline.
