In 2023, the Nebraska State Legislature passed The Opportunity Scholarships Act (LB753), a scholarship tax credit program. This Act was repealed in November of 2024.
Taxpayers contributed to Opportunity Scholarships of Nebraska (OSN), a state-approved scholarship granting organization, which then used those dollars to provide scholarships to eligible students. This program enabled students from lower-income families, students with special needs, students who experience bullying, students from military families, students in foster care, and students who are denied option enrollment by public schools to access scholarships to attend the private school of their choice.
The Opportunity Scholarships Act gave priority to children from the lowest-income families first, along with the qualifiers above, giving final priority to families making less than 300% of the federal Free and Reduced Lunch rate.
Although the Act was repealed, there are remaining funds to be distributed. OSN scholarships will be awarded to eligible Pius X students in fall 2025 pursuant to funds available.
