Students currently enrolled in and attending a designated public school building that is closing at the end of the school year are eligible to apply. However, students whose eligibility is based on being assigned to a closing school (e.g., incoming kindergarten students) for the upcoming school year are NOT eligible for the scholarship. No student will be awarded a scholarship based on being assigned to a closing school.

• The online applications are submitted by the participating private schools on behalf of the parent, ONLY AFTER the student has been accepted for enrollment by the school.
• Students currently attending private school and home-schooled students are NOT eligible to apply for an EdChoice scholarship.
