EdChoice Expansion:
In July 2023, Governor Mike DeWine signed into law a bill passed by Senate President Matt Huffman and House Speaker Jason Stephens to make the EdChoice Expansion Scholarship available to ALL! The expansion awards scholarships for K-12 students based on the family's Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) in relation to the Federal Poverty Level Guidelines (FPL). Families under 450% FPL qualify for a full EdChoice Expansion Scholarship, with Scholarships reduced on a sliding scale for families above 450% FPL. Each scholarship amount depends on household size.
The maximum scholarship amounts for both programs is $6,166 for elementary and $8,408 for high school. Click here to view a chart on EdChoice Expansion Eligibility & Awards.
