The Broadening Options and Opportunities for Students Today (BOOST) Program provides scholarships for some students who are eligible for the free or reduced–price meals program to attend eligible nonpublic schools. Awards are granted based on household income, with the lowest income served first.

The BOOST program for the 2019-2020 school year is governed by language in Senate Bill 125 of the 2019 legislative session (the Fiscal 2020 Budget Bill).
