2. SCHOLARSHIPS…
Offered since the fall of 2008, the Scholarship for Parents is a 50% tuition discount for parents of
· Have a child enrolled in a Boston or Chelsea Public School (children must be enrolled in BPS, CPS, or a public charter school within either Boston or Chelsea city limits—parents of METCO-participating students would not be eligible unless they also currently have children in BPS)

With the 50% tuition discount, the cost of a four credit course is reduced to $750, and parents can apply for and receive additional financial aid—based on their financial need—through the FAFSA. I’ve attached the Scholarship for Parents flyer as a .pdf file, which details scholarship benefits, eligibility requirements, and available programs of study.
