The Educational Choice Scholarship (EdChoice) Program was created to provide students from underperforming public schools the opportunity to attend participating private schools. The program provides up to 60,000 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 providers between February 1, 2013 and April 19, 2013 on behalf of the parent, ONLY AFTER the student has been accepted for enrollment by the school. SCHOOLS Beginning with the 2013-2014 school year, the EdChoice Scholarship Program’s student application system is being merged into the student application system currently being used by the Autism Scholarship Program and the Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship Program. In the new system, schools are known as Providers. The link below will take you to our interactive live data system to search for your provider. When searching, be sure to select a county from the drop down list after you type the name of the provider. If by chance your provider is not listed, the reason may be because they have not completed the registration process yet. —– NEW —–
