I____________ AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING:*
Parent Full Name
- The information provided in this application is true and correct.
- I have supplied the chartered nonpublic school with a certified copy of the student’s birth certificate, copies of all custody/guardianship documentation for the student, and proof of my address.
- I have submitted only one EdChoice application for this student.
- The scholarship amount shall only be applied to the tuition of the enrolling school, and I may be required to pay other fees and costs as prescribed by the policies of the school.
- I will sign all scholarship checks received by the private school for my student in a timely manner. I understand that if I fail to endorse the scholarship checks to the school, I will be responsible for paying the student’s tuition.
- If I transfer my scholarship to another participating chartered nonpublic school, I will notify the school of my intent to withdraw and I will return to the original school to sign any remaining checks.
- I will apply for any and all financial aid or tuition discounts and adjustments made regularly available to the students attending the school in which the student is accepted for enrollment.
- I will abide by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (DEW) dispute resolution process outlined in Ohio Administrative Code Section 3301-11-14.
- If I am not a low-income parent or did not complete the income verification process, I will be responsible for paying any differencebetween the scholarship amount and the tuition of the chartered nonpublic school.
- I must inform DEW and the chartered nonpublic school of any change in the student’s residential address or custody status.
- I will not be able to renew my child’s scholarship if: 1) my family moves to another public school district unless my child would be assigned to an EdChoice designated public school in the new district (applicable only to students who were initially awarded a scholarship based on an EdChoice designated building); 2) my child does not complete all required assessments; 3) my child has more than 20 unexcused absences for the school year; or 4) I fail to complete the renewal process. If my child received an EdChoice Expansion scholarship, I must maintain Ohio residency.
- I have received and understand the policy handbook of the chartered nonpublic school and will abide by its provisions.
- I understand that if my child’s scholarship has been awarded in error, it will be terminated immediately,and I would be responsible for paying the tuition if I decide to keep my child at the private school.

ADDRESS VERIFICATION
Proof of residency is required of all renewal applicants and must be submitted to the school with the application.

Parents/Guardians must document residency by providing the school with a current (less than 90 days old) utility bill. The utility (electric, gas, water, sewer, cable/internet) bill must show matching service address and mailing address in the name of the parent/guardian. Post office boxes (except in rural areas where residents only have a PO Box) and cell phone bills have no service address and therefore are not accepted.

Other Acceptable Documents: A monthly mortgage statement (less than 90 days old) or lease/rental agreement (signed by lessee and lessor) and a piece of current business mail (examples: pay stub, bank statement, insurance statement, car payment statement, etc.) with parent/guardian’s name and address. Additional information can be found on the scholarship webpage ( https://education.ohio.gov/Topics/Other-Resources/Scholarships/EdChoice-Scholarship ).
Upload a recent utility bill*

Water, Gas, OR Electric bills preferred. Must be recent (less than 90 days old)

INCOME VERIFICATION

Only one income verification is necessary per family.
