Wealthy families in North Carolina will not receive vouchers for private school tuition next year, while over 13,000 new low-income families may qualify if they accept Opportunity Scholarship offers by April 19. Although recent budget changes removed income limits and extended eligibility to current private school students, significant budget increases for the programme are planned for the future. The North Carolina State Educational Assistance Authority prioritises existing voucher holders and low-income applicants, with families qualifying for free or reduced-price school meals given precedence. However, not all second-tier applicants will receive vouchers, and no vouchers will be awarded to higher-income families.
