Most Common Reasons Given by Parents for Declining to Use the OSP Scholarship in Year 2

NOTES: Data are not weighted. Valid N = 1,387. Students were identified as scholarship users based upon information from WSF’s payment files. Because some schools use a range of tuitions and some students had alternative sources of funding, students were classified as full users if WSF made payments on their behalf that equaled at least 80 percent of the school’s annual tuition. Otherwise, students were identified as partial users (1 percent to 79 percent of tuition paid) or non-users (no payments).
SOURCES: OSP applications and WSF's payment files.
