Our Focus

AOSF was created to empower low-income parents to choose what is best for their child.

69% of AOSF parents are employed; 13% hold more than one job.

Since 2014, AOSF has awarded over 11,000 scholarships, distributing more than $60 million to students.

84% of students are minorities.

100% of awards are to low-income children.

Our
Mission & Values

At the Alabama Opportunity Scholarship Fund (AOSF), our mission is to empower families to choose the school that best fits their child’s unique educational needs.

AOSF provides scholarships to low-income, K-12 children who are not succeeding in their current environment. Scholarships are funded by the donation of corporate and individual Alabama income tax liability.


Every Alabama child has an equal opportunity to a quality education, which can only occur when educators and local communities are empowered to create diverse learning options and all parents are empowered to match their children to the learning option that best meets their needs.

Our Board of Directors

AOSF is governed by an unpaid, volunteer board of directors.
