2024-25 School Year EdChoice Scholarship Program

Now, ALL Ohio families will be eligible for the state’s EdChoice Scholarship to pay for private K-12 education.


NEED TO KNOW

  • Every K - 8th grade family is eligible for a scholarship and should apply to offset tuition costs. Based on where your family income falls in comparison to the Federal Poverty Level you can receive a state-funded scholarship ranging from $616 to $6,166 per student.
  • EdChoice Scholarships are applied to reduce your tuition before all other grants and scholarships. You will not be eligible for any parish or diocesan aid unless you first apply for a state-funded scholarship. As a preferred source of funding, these state scholarships will allow the parish to reallocate unused parish grant funds to other school and parish needs.
