EdChoice
The window for 2025-2026 Ohio EdChoice scholarships is open to applications starting February 1, 2025.
Your Next Steps
NEW APPLICATIONS
Families who have not applied previously for Ohio EdChoice previously will need to submit the following items through our edchoice@fenwickfalcons.org email. Submitting these directly to the state will cause delays and errors in your application.
- FY26 EdChoice Request Form
- Acceptable Proof of Address Guidance
- Birth Certificate/Proof of Adoption
Once we provide your application to the State of Ohio, you will receive an email from Ohio EdChoice requesting that you submit financial documentation. Provide your financial information directly to the state through their secure website, not to Fenwick, to ensure confidentiality and security of your information.
What is EdChoice?
The Educational Choice Scholarship (EdChoice) Program provides all Ohio students entering kindergarten through 12th grade scholarships opportunities based on their household income level.
If your family receives a different scholarship through Ohio, you may not be able to apply for EdChoice (e.g., Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship).
All forms, fact sheets and information on Ohio’s scholarship programs are available on the State of Ohio website.
RENEWALS
Each year after your initial application, you will need to complete a renewal application. Ohio EdChoice does not automatically renew your scholarship. You’ll need to download and complete the 2025-26 renewal form (FY26 EdChoice Renewal Form) and proof of address (Acceptable Proof of Address Guidance). Less information is required unless you have had a reduction in earnings. Submit your renewal form via email to edchoice@fenwickfalcons.org.
Note: The State of Ohio also will automatically mail a 2025-2026 Renewal Request form via USPS to your address listed in the Ohio EdChoice system.
Once Your Application is Reviewed
The state will determine your EdChoice scholarship amount based on your family’s financials. This review can take up to a month during peak enrollment periods. Please be patient.
If the State of Ohio accepts you for an EdChoice scholarship, you will need to complete an acceptance form and a payment authorization form. Once those forms are returned, we will apply the full EdChoice scholarship to your financial account. It will offset your monthly tuition payment, or a refund will be issued if you have paid in full.
Note: Incomplete applications or missing documents will result in a delay in the application submission. New applications submitted for a student not enrolled at Fenwick for the 2025-2026 school year will be held until your Fenwick enrollment process is complete.
