Options In Education Foundation

Nationally, 80% of teachers are spending their own money on basic student needs, and with the education sector facing renewed funding cuts, that burden is only growing.

A $75 gift sponsors one week of trauma-informed, social-emotional learning (SEL) support for a classroom, including:
- Teacher coaching
- Mental health staffing
- Group SEL session materials

💬 “I’ve been teaching for over a decade, and Options is the first school where I’ve felt like the work I do to support students, emotionally, not just academically, is actually recognized. We do a lot of that through our SEL programs, and honestly, it’s what keeps a lot of kids coming back. With everything going on with funding right now, all teachers across the country are having to do more with less. The support we get from the community really helps us keep showing up in the ways that matter” - Options Teacher

For many of our students, earning a diploma is just the beginning. But without financial support, even the most determined graduates can find college, trade school, or certification programs out of reach.

That’s why the Options Scholarship Program exists.

With donor support, we help students cross the finish line, and launch their next chapter with confidence. Whether it’s a few hundred dollars for textbooks or a larger award for tuition or certification fees, your gift removes barriers and unlocks opportunity.

Our scholarships support:
- Two- or four-year college degrees
- Trade and technical programs
- Certification pathways in fields like healthcare, IT, construction, and more
- Apprenticeships and career training

But this is about more than money.

It’s about showing students that someone believes in them and giving them permission to believe in themselves.

You’re not just funding education. You’re fueling hope, purpose, and possibility.
