included
Special to The Truth
The deadline to apply for scholarships that help students
from underperforming public schools, or those with
demonstrated financial need, to attend private schools, has
been extended to September 5, 2014. For the upcoming school
year, approximately 4000 scholarships are available to
incoming kindergartner and first grade students whose family
income is at or below 200 percent of the Federal Poverty
Guidelines. Kindergartners who turn five years old before
January 1, 2015 are eligible. Toledo’s Central City Ministry
School (CCMT) campuses at Rosary school on Collingwood and
Queen of Apostle on Courtland are available for students who
are eligible for EdChoice scholarships.
If a student is eligible for the EdChoice Scholarship, the
first step is to apply for admission at a participating
Catholic or other private school. Once students have been
accepted, they can apply for an EdChoice Scholarship through
the school. Participating schools/providers can enter
scholarship applications for students through their online
application system. The maximum amount of the scholarship
for kindergarten through eighth grade students is $4250.
