EdChoice

More info and to Apply

The EdChoice Scholarship Program has been serving families living in underperforming school districts since the mid 2000’s. The program has been expanded many times in order to aid more families, especially those with lower incomes. The new EdChoice Expansion Scholarship Program allows every Ohio family to receive some state scholarships monies towards a private school that is designated as an EdChoice Provider.

All of our families at The Juniper School are eligible and encouraged to apply and participate. Families will incomes at or below 450% of the Federal Poverty Guideline are eligible for the maximum EdChoice Scholarship amount.

To Apply:

  1. Determine which is the best fit for your K-6th grade student - Traditional or Expansion.

  2. For each student, send in your EdChoice Scholarship Request Form, copy of your student’s birth certificate, and proof of address (a utility bill is recommended with both service and billing address) to the school’s office in hard copy or scan and send electronic copy via email at thejuniperschool@outlook.com. Please use EdChoice in your subject line. Electronic signatures are not accepted.

  3. Create an OH-ID and complete the income verification process if you are applying for the Expansion or if you qualify for Low Income Status.

  4. Complete the EdChoice Consent Form
