Our Focus
C2 was created to empower low-income parents to choose what is best for their child.
The C2 Opportunity Scholarship was established in 2018 and provides tax credited scholarships to low-income K-12 children within the Diocese of Birmingham to attend the Catholic school of their choice.
We believe that children should have every opportunity to succeed. Our fully accredited Catholic Schools offer an excellent education rooted in Gospel values and are ready to meet the needs of these students, preparing them for a lifelong journey of faith and learning that they might not find elsewhere.
Our
Mission & Values
At C2, our mission is to empower families to choose the school that best fits their child’s unique educational needs.
C2 provides scholarships to low-income, K-12 children who are not succeeding in their current environment. Scholarships are funded by the donation of corporate and individual Alabama income tax liability.
C2 is a parent-driven model. Parents complete an online application and email in supporting documents to apply. Scholarships are distributed on a first-completed, first-served basis with priority given to students zoned to attend a “failing” public school.
C2 is leading the way statewide to provide low-income children the educational opportunities to be successful and to have a productive future.
Our Board of Directors
C2 Opportunity Scholarships is governed by an unpaid, volunteer board of directors.
