Years of tuition assistance
Contributions are collected by UCEF and held for tuition assistance — no program fees are taken from your gift.
Choosing a school directs the resulting assistance toward that school's families; General Allocation is spread across participating schools where the need is greatest.
Grants are distributed through the same tuition-assistance process schools and parents already use, and schools receive updates on distributions.

For nearly 10 years UCEF has collected, tracked, and distributed tuition assistance — so parents and schools already know and trust the process.
