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. For example, in 2024-2025, a student in a family of four earning $140,000 annually or less receives a full scholarship. Scholarships are reduced on a sliding scale for families above 450% FPL with no less than $616 (K-8) or $840 (HS) awarded per child. Each scholarship amount depends on household size.
