EdChoice Renewal  and New Request for Scholarships 

EdChoice Expansion (Income Based) and EdChoice Traditional (Failing School or Guardianship)

EdChoice is a scholarship voucher awarded through the State of Ohio. The scholarship is awarded to the family and the family can use the funds to pay for tuition at a private school that is EdChoice approved.  EdChoice can be used towards tuition only and not fees.  The EdChoice window for 26/27 will open in February.  

1.   RENEWAL EXPANSION: To renew, the school needs the Request for Renewal 26/27 form and proof of address.  (Easiest is a current utility bill).  We do not need the birth certificate to renew.  Hard Copies Only. Please do not scan and email.  (If your FACTS financial account is delinquent with the office you are not considered enrolled and your Edchoice Request will not be submitted to the State until your account is made current.  Families also need to be reenerolled at LCS before we can submit your EdChoice to the state.  This means reenrollment completed in FACTS and the $150 enrollment fee is paid.  

INCOME VERIFICATION  RENEWAL :   Please Read Carefully!!!  Directly to State not school. 

You must resubmit income verification if:  

You are currently at or below 200% to verify your low income status.   If you choose not to resubmit your income to verify low income status, then the school will bill you the difference in your voucher and our tuition.

You may choose to resubmit your income verification if:

You think your income has decreased and you want to try for a lower income bracket.

You do not need to resubmit income if you are renewing and not trying for a different income bracket.

2.   NEW REQUESTS FOR SCHOLARSHIPS EXPANSION when you already have another student on Edchoice.  If you are adding a new student to EdChoice and you are already getting EdChoice for another student you DO NOT need to do income verification for that student unless you fall into one of the above situations.  We need the Request for Scholarship and a copy of the birth certificate. We can use the same proof of address for your new student as your current student.  

3. NEW REQUEST FOR SCHOLARSHIPS EXPANSION and this is your first time applying for EdChoice.

If this is your first time applying for EdChoice you will need to complete the Income Verification with EdChoice directly. You will use your OH|ID to do your income verification.  If you don’t have an OH|ID you will need to create one with the State of Ohio. The school has no part in the Income Verification.  To the school submit the Request for Scholarship 26/27, copy of student’s birth certificate and proof of address.  We must have all three documents as hard copies.  NO emailed forms.  You can find all documents and helpful tip sheets on the EdChoice website.  

4. RENEWAL FOR EDCHOICE TRADITIONAL: To renew, the school needs the Request for Renewal 26/27 form and proof of address. (Easiest is a current utility bill). We do not need the birth certificate to renew.  Hard Copies Only. Please do not scan and email.  (If your FACTS financial account is delinquent with the office you are not considered enrolled and your EdChoice Request will not be submitted to the State until your account is made current.  Families also need to be reenrolled at LCS before we can submit your EdChoice to the state.  This means reenrollment completed in FACTS and the $150 enrollment fee is paid.  

INCOME VERIFICATION TRADITIONAL is NOT needed UNLESS you want to try for Low Income Status.  If you are currently on Traditional and are on low income status of 200% or less you MUST resubmit your income to verify continued status of low income.  If you do not reverify your low income status, the school will charge you the difference in your voucher and our tuition.
