MOST is incredibly proud to say that we have a 93% four-year college/university matriculation rate. To be clear, the students, themselves, accomplished this! We simply partnered with their parents and provided them the OPPORTUNITY to shine their light! ✨🍎

Every child is unique and learns in their own way. When parents are equipped with educational options they are able to help their children in the best way possible. MOST is dedicated to partnering with families that want to provide the best education for their children!

While everyone is showing love, we want to give honor to history currently being made!! MOST Alum, Danielle Tyler - a New Hope Christian Academy (’07), and St. Mary’s Class of 2013 graduate, earned her BA in Art History from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville! #blackhistory

Here at MOST, through your generosity, we granted $1,038,452 to 375 students in the 2021-2022 school year! Together we have partnered with parents to propel their kids to success through opportunities that would have been difficult without your support!! 🍎✨

MOST is built on the belief that all children deserve an equal opportunity to receive the education that best fits their needs—regardless of their ZIP codes or financial circumstances. Dedicated to partnering on the premise of OPPORTUNITY, not status, race, gender, or religion.

If you're reaching out to MOST, it might be because you think your neighborhood public school isn't up to par. But are you sure? We recommend checking it out first because it's hard to beat the convenience and community you get from going to a neighborhood school — and it's free.

Did you know that 8% of a family's income is committed to schooling?? That may not seem like a large number, but for some families, especially those with multiple children, this number can be very impactful! When you donate, this is what you're investing in!

It's time to highlight another form of school choice: Homeschooling! Everyday patterns can give a familiar structure that allows you and your child to learn and live side-by-side. If your child requires more of a one on one, personal teaching style, this may be a PERFECT choice!

Through the kindness and generosity of our donors, we are able to partner with parents to ensure the best opportunities are given to their children! Consider becoming and donor and help us partner with more families!

MOST is the only local scholarship program that supports true school choice by allowing parents to choose from over 50 accredited private elementary or secondary schools in Shelby County!

Highlight: Charter schools are independently operated public schools that have the freedom to design classrooms that meet their students’ needs. This option is great for parents who want their child to have personal expression and a tailored education to fit their needs.

Over the years, through our generous donors, MOST has been able to partner with MANY families and give so many opportunities! With your help, more than $23M has been awarded to over 3500 students! Let's continue to invest in youth! Consider donating today!

A common question we get is: At which school can scholarships be used? Scholarships can be used at any of our partner schools. We recommend that you thoroughly research the schools you are looking at for your child, taking into consideration cost!

Children are our future! They are eager and impressionable, and their brains develop extensively from birth to age 5. Research shows that early education helps close the achievement gap that can begin as early as 18 months into a child’s life!

Donations help us ensure one, PIVOTAL, truth: children simply deserve the opportunity to learn in the best environment to fit their needs. If you want to help ensure that children have the opportunities they deserve, you can go to memphisscholarships.org and click donate!

Perhaps you are looking for a certain kind of learning environment (e.g. smaller class sizes, single-gender, etc.) or the incorporation of religious teaching. If so, then a private school might be right for you!

Another question we get is "what is the maximum amount that MOST will give?" The amount of a MOST scholarship is determined by family size and income relative to tuition, less any financial aid provided by the school. For the 2022–2023 school year, the maximum award is $3,300.

Another important reason to prioritize early education is because it teaches children how to be learners. If a child’s introduction to classroom learning is in an overly academic environment, they may fail to develop a strong sense of curiosity and be turned off from school.

Whether you choose a one-time or recurring monthly gift, your support will enable a Memphis-area family to send their child to a school of their choice. And, did you know, if you give $20 a month, for 12 months, you can sponsor a MOST scholar!?
