The EdChoice Expansion Program offers scholarships ranging from $840 – $8,408 and is available to families that do not live in a qualifying school district. The EdChoice Expansion Scholarship amount is based on a family’s Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). All families are guaranteed to receive some level of support. The State of Ohio, not Benedictine High School, determines family size and verifies income. We can not guarantee any award.
Each school has different tuition amounts. Depending on the amount of the school’s tuition, the scholarship will pay up to the designated amount. If the tuition is more than the scholarship amounts, the parent may be responsible for the difference.
