If you have not already done so, you should start with the school's financial aid or administrative office, as it may be able to connect you with resources specifically for students in private schools.
You might also ask if your state’s Department of Education provides vouchers or other financial assistance to attend private school.
Most foundation scholarships are for undergraduate or graduate students. However, a few foundations give grants to attend private elementary, middle or high school.
To search for foundation grants, Foundation Grants to Individuals Online is our searchable database of 6000+ grantmakers. You can use it for free at Foundation Center locations or subscribe. Start with a Type of Support search for “Precollege support”.
