Mission

The Washington Scholarship Fund (WSF) is committed to expanding and improving educational options in Washington, D.C. by enabling low-income District families to have a choice in where they send their children to elementary, middle, and high school - and thereby to fulfill the promise of equal educational opportunity for all. In an effort to expand better educational options in the Nation's Capital, WSF operates two distinct scholarship programs: the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program and the Signature Scholarship Program. WSF is the largest Kindergarten through 12th grade scholarship-granting organization in the District, distributing nearly $76.3 million in privately- and publicly-funded scholarships and serving nearly 7,300 students in 16 years of operation.
