Our partner schools play a critical role in BISON’s success. We could not advance our mission without them and it is a privilege to support their incredible work! Together, we strive to make quality education accessible to children, regardless of a family’s income or zip code.
BISON’s goal is to ensure that every K-8 student in Western New York receives a high-quality education best-suited for their individual success.
If a family feels its child is not being best-served at its public school, BISON believes each child should be able to attend the school of their choice regardless of their means or zip code.
The BISON Fund has no particular school, religious or political affiliation. We believe parents are the best judge for what educational environment is best for their children.
BISON supporters + BISON partner schools = educational success. Be a part of the success …. DONATE NOW.
BISON partner schools play a critical role in BISON’s success and serve as BISON’s biggest ambassadors. They help with administrative processes, spreading the word about our program to potential BISON families, and retaining current BISON families.
Scholarship payments are distributed directly to each participating school twice per year—once in November and once in March. Each payment is a percentage of each BISON student’s scholarship for the year.
Any private elementary and high school within the eight counties of Western New York that obtains incorporation, verifies that they are located in a safe, educationally appropriate environment, and has their local public school district certify that they are educationally equivalent to a public school is eligible to participate in the BISON program.
To be a participating school, you must also agree to meet our minimum standards and assist the BISON program in the following ways:
