Memphis Opportunity Scholarship Trust, Inc.

During the 2024-25 school year, M.O.S.T. granted $1,083,502 in scholarships to 348 students in PK3 through grade 12 at 42 partnering private schools in the Memphis area. 24 of those students are also receiving M.O.S.T. McDonnell Scholarships.

Each year, M.O.S.T. also provides a merit-based McDonnell Scholarship to high school students who exhibit outstanding academic promise, leadership, and character. They have distinguished themselves among their peers by demonstrating attitudes and behaviors that mark them for success in secondary school, college, and beyond. In addition to the M.O.S.T. scholarship, these students are receiving $2,500 to be used to cover more than just tuition (e.g. fees, books, and uniform costs) that might appear on a student’s account.

*Students begin in the M.O.S.T. program in PK3 through grade 2, and acceptance is based on family income. We also provide scholarships for students with documented special needs that can be addressed at certain schools.
