About Us
We believe the key to assisting children to grow into successful adults is a strong foundational K-8 education, regardless of their ability to pay.
Mission
To give the children of Connecticut equal access to quality education.
What We Do and Who We Help
- Connecticut families seek out CEO’s assistance because they want a better life for their children. Parents understand the need for their children to attend the K-8 school that best meets the need and ability of their children.
- CEO provides equal access to K-8 accredited private, parochial, religiously-affiliated, or non-residence public schools by awarding up to $2,100 each year. Parents are responsible for the remaining tuition.
- Parents/guardians qualify if their income level is verified at or within 200% of the Federal Poverty Income level for the size of their family.
- Residents of Connecticut may apply.
The Challenge
The number of applications CEO receives each year are often more than twice the number of available CEO scholarships/funds.
Children's Educational Opportunity Foundation (CEO Foundation of Connecticut) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
