EdChoice Expansion

Based on income for ANY Ohio student

Based on the Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of a family’s household.  This is line 11 on your 1040 federal income tax return.

If a family’s AGI is at or below 450% of the Federal Poverty Level, they will be awarded the maximum scholarship amount. If a family’s income is at or above 451%, the award will be prorated.  

  • Find the number in your household on the left, and match your approximate household income. 
  • Use this approximate percentage in the second table to find your scholarship range.
