EdChoice State Scholarships

What is Ohio's Educational Choice Scholarship Program?

The EdChoice Scholarship Program provides state funded scholarships to students in grades K-12. Students from designated public schools and other specific circumstances qualify for these scholarships. The scholarship must be used to attend private schools that meet requirements for program participation.
