Dear Our Lady Families,

We have been notified that a wonderful opportunity has opened up for you and Our Lady of Perpetual Help School. Thanks to Governor Dewine and the state legislature, you may be eligible for the new EdChoice expansion program. If you fall within the following guidelines, there is money available for you. 

We are waiting on more direction from the diocese/state about the application process for this year, but in the meantime, I want to encourage you to do the following: 

1) Follow this link to determine your federal poverty level (FPL). Please note that you can use the drop-down menu at the top to change the household size. 

2) Use the following chart to determine your scholarship amount per child: 

  • 450% FPL or below: $6100 scholarship
  • 451%-500% FPL: $5,200 scholarship
  • 501%-550% FPL: $3,650 scholarship
  • 551%-600% FPL: $2,600 scholarship
  • 601%-650% FPL: $1,850 scholarship
  • 651%-700% FPL: $1,300 scholarship
  • 701%-750% FPL: $900 scholarship
  • 750% FPL and up: $650 scholarship

3) Ensure that you have a copy of your child’s birth certificate, proof of address, and tax return on hand so that once we receive direction from ODE regarding the application process, you will have the documentation you need. 

Our school is not only a school of academic excellence, but it is a school of excellence in virtues. We teach solid Christian virtues in every subject at every moment of every day. Your child will be grounded in the excellence of becoming the young man or woman God created him or her to be.

More information will be sent as soon as we receive it, but we wanted to share this good news with you sooner rather than later. In the meantime, if you have questions, please feel free to contact any of the staff listed here:
