Student Wellness and Success Funds and Disadvantaged Pupil Impact Aid Reminders

8/13/2024

Under the leadership of Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio General Assembly, Ohio’s districts and schools receive Disadvantaged Pupil Impact Aid and Student Wellness and Success Funds for wraparound services to help students overcome obstacles to learning, accelerate learning, and prepare for future success.

Districts and schools can note several updates to Ohio law on the Student Wellness and Success Fund and Disadvantaged Pupil Impact Aid webpage, including the following criteria for spending the funds:

  1. At least 50% of funding must be used for mental health services or physical health care services or a combination of both.
  2. Student Wellness and Success Funds must be spent by the end of the next fiscal year after they were received. Funds received from FY20-FY24 must be spent by June 30, 2025.
Visit the Department’s Supporting Student Wellness webpage for more information and a table of uses. Contact wellnessandsuccess@education.ohio.gov with any questions.
