WELCOME

This survey is part of a study about the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP).



The OSP provides scholarships to help DC families pay for private school. The U.S. Department of Education is sponsoring this study and has hired Abt Associates and other researchers to carry out the study.


We think that you used an OSP scholarship so you could attend private school this year. We would like to hear how the school year is going for you. Your answers are important even if you are not attending private school this school year.

Your responses to this survey are important to the study.

We are asking you to complete a short survey about your experiences in your current school.

The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete.



ASSENT

None of your answers will affect your grades or scholarship status. Your answers will not be shared with anyone at your school, anyone at the OSP program, or anyone other than the study team. Your name will not be used in any reports the study team writes.

Your parent/guardian has been given information about this study and has agreed that you can take this survey if you would like.
