As a parent who is purposefully investing in your child's future, I have heard time and time again that finding the best quality education for your child at an affordable rate is one of your top challenges. The public school system can be scary, and statistics are daunting, but parents like you do not have to settle!
Sooooo, y'all!!! Here's your chance to change your child's trajectory...forever! I investigated companies and organizations (making calls, sending emails, reading government legalities, --all the things you would do if you weren't so busy).
The good news? I found out that affording a high-quality education isn't out of reach! Did you know that your child may qualify for funding to attend a school or program outside of the public school system?!!!! If you're anything like me, this is something that you'll find extremely valuable.

Lastly, and perhaps the one I'm most excited about and thankful for is the Mayor's Military Fund which is specifically set up for children of active duty service members, children of a wounded warrior, or children of a parent who was killed in action.
May God bless Renewanation, who partnerships with Christian schools and organizations in VA and KS to provide a Christian education for students.

Shew! That is a LOT of information, but you are now empowered to offer your child the best education possible without cost being the biggest factor! While Path of Life Learning is not currently partnered to receive scholarships, you have other ways to keep education affordable without sacrificing quality.
