What is EdChoice?
The Educational Choice Scholarship (EdChoice) Program provides students from designated public schools the opportunity to attend participating private schools (traditional EdChoice). The program also provides students who are entering kindergarten through 12th grade scholarship opportunities based on

The maximum scholarship amount for the 24-25 school year is $8408 for grades 9-12.
