Here are the 3 simple steps to take advantage of your educational freedom opportunity.

 3. Apply for the scholarship

Once your child has been accepted by the private school, the private school will have you complete a Scholarship Request Form, along with your proof of current address and your child’s birth certificate.

The private school will then submit an EdChoice application for your child.
