是的.

The scholarship amount for Traditional EdChoice has been increased to $8,407 for 9-12 students. The amount of the scholarship is based on the state base cost for public school districts. 秋天的时候，金额可能会有轻微的调整.

Traditional EdChoice is no longer the default program if a family qualifies for both 项目. 一个家庭可以选择他们想参加的项目. 对于一些家庭来说, they will want to be in the Traditional EdChoice奖学金 program if they qualify as there is no reduction in award amount based on household income level.

对于共同抚养孩子的离婚夫妇来说, 这是父母的选择，父母是主要的. 两者都可以在申请表上列出, 但无论哪个被列为主要家长, 这是需要提交的收入. 从父节点可以接收信息. 但如果他们不住在一个家庭里，收入就不是必要的了.

是的.

家庭 who qualify for low-income status (at or below 200% of the 联邦贫困指南) do not have to pay any tuition that is not covered by the scholarship.

Income verification is not required to 应用 for a Traditional EdChoice奖学金. 然而, families may qualify for low-income status in the Traditional EdChoice奖学金 program if they choose to have their income verified.

对大多数家庭来说，答案是肯定的. 

If 你 want to to 应用 the EdChoice Expansion Scholarship or Low-Income Designation on the Traditional Scholarship, 你必须提交你的收入证明. (见 入息核实门户 了解更多信息)

The Expansion Scholarship is for anyone who lives outside of a school district with a failing school - Bedford, 克利夫兰高地, 欧几里得, 城市佩恩斯维尔, 里士满的高度, 和Warrensville.

学校不会收集你的任何收入信息. 这是通过州网站提交的.

You will receive an official letter from the state letting 你 know the amount of scholarship dollars 你 are eligible for.

Lake Catholic can NOT approve 你r application to the state website without this step being done first.

No. 一旦它们被验证, the state assumes they will remain at that income level 和 will renew accordingly. 父母可以选择每年核实收入. 

虽然法律不要求父母重新核实, the low-income status does require annual verification to prove the household is 200% FPL or under. The low-income status that sustains the requirement for schools to waive tuition must be reverified every year. 

这些系统仍在根据法律的变化进行重新设计. ODE正在制定新的指导文件来指导这一点.)
第一个下拉菜单，选择户主(选择父母之一). Then on the next dropdown (type of income) select “wages 和 salaries” because it’s closest. 在“多久”下拉框中，为AGI选择“每年”. 最后一行是金额. 列出第11行(联邦调整总收入)的金额.).  他们可以更新文档并保存它. 

Use page 1 of the tax return for income verification as 你r documentation (the dependent should be listed there). Under the household member (the head of household) leave a comment that says 你 have an additional member. Add that additional person’s name 和 birthdate (和 the last 4 digits of SSN should be visible on the tax return.)此外，提醒您将前5位数字涂黑. ODE将重写系统，将这个家庭成员添加到计数中.

The Lake Catholic Business Office will make necessary adjustments to 你r tuition accounts once 你 are approved by the state for the EdChoice奖学金. 

Any remaining balance will portioned out over the remaining payments for this school year.

任何费用-注册费，运动费，参赛费，毕业费等. -不包括在教育选择奖学金中.

继续实施2021年开始的“公平学校资助计划”, Ohio’s new budget provides the largest-ever increases to all K-12 education: public, 特许奖学金和家长选择奖学金, 等. 包括EdChoice在内的所有州奖学金都是由州政府直接资助的. 所有地方税仍归传统的地区所有, 不管招生情况如何变化, 还有教育经费的公式, 哪个部门向各区提供每名学生的资助, 是为了调整通胀而更新的. 反映“公平学校资助计划”,“俄亥俄州的预算增加了国家对所有学生的支持, 包括有资格参加“教育选择”计划的学生, 并实现了资助学生接受教育的目标. 

是正确的.
