Ohio EdChoice Scholarships


Did you know the Ohio EdChoice Scholarship programs now offer ALL Ohio students the opportunity for a state scholarship to attend a Catholic school?

EdChoice Expansion:
The EdChoice Expansion Scholarship is awarded to K-12 students based on the family's Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) in relation to the Federal Poverty Level Guidelines (FPL). Most families qualify for a full EdChoice Expansion Scholarship of $6,166 for elementary and $8,408 for high school. Scholarships are reduced on a sliding scale for families above 450% FPL with no less than $616 awarded per child. Each scholarship amount depends on household size.

EdChoice Traditional:
The traditional EdChoice program provides scholarship opportunities for K-12 students living within a low performing public school district. The family can apply for EdChoice assistance which may fund the majority of Catholic elementary school tuition and a substantial portion of Catholic high school tuition.
