Say Yes Cleveland

Say Yes Cleveland partners with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and select charter schools to create a clear path to success for every Cleveland student. Through scholarships and comprehensive support services, we're committed to helping students reach their full potential. Our support services begin in 16 CMSD schools this year and will expand to all CMSD schools within four years. Students in PreK through 12th grade will benefit from afterschool and summer programs, legal and mental health services, and dedicated Family Support Specialists to connect families with essential resources. Say Yes Cleveland scholarships cover the cost of college or postsecondary tuition, after federal and state grants, for every eligible CMSD graduate for the next 25 years. Students can use their scholarships at public universities, community colleges, and Pell-eligible certificate programs in Ohio, as well as at over 100 private colleges and universities nationwide.
