The second application windows for Ohio’s EdChoice and
Income-Based scholarship programs opened on July 1 for
families interested in applying for a scholarship for the

EdChoice Scholarships are available to students who are

underperforming public schools. The scholarships are worth
up to $4,650 per year for students in grades K-8 and up to
$6,000 for high school students. They are to be used toward
tuition at the participating private school of the family’s
choice. There are 60,000 scholarships available for eligible
students.
The Income-Based Scholarship Program is available for
students who are entering kindergarten, first, second, third
or fourth grade in the 2017-18 school year, if their
family’s income is at or below 200 percent of Federal
Poverty Guidelines. The scholarships are worth $4,650 and
are to be used toward tuition at the participating private
school of the family’s choice.
Applying for one of these state-funded scholarships is just
one of the many education options available in the state.
