What are the Lottery Preferences?

Preferences in the lottery are given to Uplift staff, siblings of current scholars, and certain zip codes at the same school if the application is received before the lottery deadline but does not guarantee enrollment.

• Sibling Preference – Currently enrolled student
  • An applicant who has a sibling currently attending an Uplift School must still apply to the school.
  • The applying child will receive preference in the lottery due to the enrolled sibling but is not guaranteed admittance.

  • The sibling status will be verified, prior to the lottery, via school records.
  • The currently attending sibling must be enrolled at the time of the lottery
• Sibling Preference – New applicant
