Eligible students must apply and be accepted into a private school before mid April, 2011 in order to be considered for a scholarship. Parents of eligible students should start as soon as possible with the process of choosing a private school.Once the student is registered at the private school, the school will apply for the Ohio Ed Choice Scholarship on the child’s behalf with the Ohio Dept. of Education.

Find a great school for your child
Choose the right private school for your child that will meet his or her needs. Most private schools have an application fee not covered by the scholarship, but often you can work out a payment plan.
There are often papers that parents will need to bring with them to the private school when they apply. We suggest that parents visit schools that they are interested in having their child attend. Ask the school before visiting what records they may need to register your student.
Sound advice: Ask questions, ask more questions, communicate, participate in school activities, volunteer, and did we say, communicate... School choice is an excellent way for you to get involved in your child's education.
Frequently required papers are:
- child's birth certificate
- copy of child's report card
- proof of family address
- proof of guardianship if applicable.
