EdChoice Information For Parents

Application Status Update:  EdChoice scholarship applications are currently being reviewed and processed.  Application status information will NOT be available until July.  Parents will receive a letter by mail in late July 2010 regarding whether or not their child has been awarded an EdChoice scholarship for the 2010-2011 school year.

The Educational Choice Scholarship (EdChoice) Pilot Program was created to provide students from underperforming public schools the opportunity to attend participating private schools. The program provides up to 14,000 EdChoice scholarships to eligible students.
 
Students currently attending a public school in their resident district that has been rated in Academic Emergency or Academic Watch for two of the past three years are eligible to apply.  Public school students attending a school in their resident district that will be assigned to such a school in the upcoming school year are also eligible to apply.  Students currently attending a charter/community school whose home school is an eligible school on our list are also eligible to apply.

The free Adobe Acrobat Reader software is required to properly display and print these documents. Make sure you install Acrobat Reader on your computer before downloading the EdChoice forms. Following the Adobe Acrobat Reader link above will take you to the Adobe Systems Web site, where you can download the latest version of Acrobat Reader. Follow the directions on the Adobe Systems Web page to download and install the appropriate version of Acrobat Reader for your computer.

The on-line applications are submitted by the participating private schools on behalf of the parent, ONLY AFTER the student has been accepted for enrollment.
