Dear LCS Families,
As many of you may know, on July 4th, 2023, Governor Mike DeWine signed House Bill 33, which brings significant changes to state education funding. As a result, the State EdChoice Expansion scholarship now includes ALL Ohio households with students in grades K-12. Additionally, the scholarship amounts have increased to an estimated $6,165 (from $5,500) for K-8 students and $8,407 (from $7,500) for 9-12 students. This means that EVERY Lebanon Christian School student residing in Ohio is eligible for some portion of this scholarship.
Please submit the information below to Lebanon Christian School as soon as possible:
- Complete the EdChoice application.
- A NEW copy of your student’s state-issued birth certificate.
- Address verification (please provide to LCS one of the following forms below):
