Help with private schools (Memphis: elementary schools, college, income)

[dallascowgirl]

Our oldest child has entered kindergarten at a private school in Memphis. The thing is, we have two younger children. At some point they will all be in school together. Public school is not an option. This means a hefty amount of our income will go towards elementary education which makes it harder to save for college. Does anyone know of any scholarships, grants, etc. targeting elementary schools. My research on the internet has been futile. Many of the programs are out of state or geared toward college tuition.

Check with individual schools. I know that most private schools have scholarships available. They are typically handled by this organization: Memphis Opportunity Scholarship Trust

Thanks. I have checked out the MOST program and we do not qualify. If you find anything else please let me know.

That's all I know of, although I know individual scohols often have more options available. We're in the private schools, as well, and thankfully don't qualify either.
