Information about the EdChoice Program

The Educational Choice Scholarship (EdChoice) Pilot Program was created to provide students from underperforming public schools the opportunity to attend participating private schools. The program provides up to 14,000 EdChoice scholarships to eligible students.
 
Alter High School participates in the Ohio EdChoice Scholarship Program.  Students must first be accepted at Alter High School for the next school year in order to apply for an EdChoice scholarship.  Once your student has been accepted for admission, you must submit all of the following pieces of information to the Admissions Office at Alter:

• A completed and signed EdChoice Scholarship Request Form
• Current proof of address (copy of a utility bill, bank statement or paystub)
• Copy of your student's birth certificate
• Copy of all custody/guardianship documentation for the student

Those families interested in applying for low income priority must completed the Income Verification form and submit it directly to the Ohio Department of Education.

Your student's EdChoice application will be considered complete once all the above have been received.  Alter will then submit your student's information to the Ohio Department of Education through the secure Web-based EdChoice Scholarship application system. The Ohio Department of Education will notify parents about whether or not their student has been awarded a scholarship.
