NCSEAA Opportunity Scholarship: Applications Open
North Carolina's Opportunity Scholarship program has expanded eligibility in a major way: the income cap has been removed, and families no longer need prior public school enrollment to qualify. This state program offers tuition assistance ranging from $3,000 to $7,000 that can be used at Odyssey.
Applications open in February, with priority given to early applicants. Learn more and apply at the NC State Education Assistance Authority. We're here to answer questions about how this scholarship works with Odyssey's tuition.

Odyssey Food Drive
Food is a Human Right.
With deep concern over recent cuts to SNAP funding and the growing number of families facing food insecurity, Odyssey is joining forces with Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church to support our neighbors through a community food drive, November 10–22.
We’re collecting canned and non-perishable foods — from carrots, corn, beans, and rice to peanut butter, cereal, and pasta — along with personal care essentials like soap, shampoo, deodorant, and toothpaste.
Drop off your donations at Odyssey between Nov. 10–22 and help us stock the shelves of our local food pantry before the holidays. Because everyone deserves a full plate and the dignity of choice. Because hunger has no place in our community.
