Assalamu Alaikum UCS Families,
The application process for EdChoice, EdChoice Expansion, or Cleveland scholarship is two parts:
1. The first part is your income verification on the OHID Website.
2. The second is the EdChoice request form to be submitted on Digital Academy.
The link below shows you how to create an account on the Ohio Department of Education website.
Instructions for Creating an OHID Account
Once you have reviewed the instructions, Use the following link to create your account.

Once an account is created, use the app store to request the Income Verification app. Use the following link to help you with the process.
Income Verification Instruction Link
On the income Verification App, start entering your income information. You will need a recent tax return for both parents to be uploaded. This complete the first part.
To apply for the EdChoice, EdChoice Expansion, or Cleveland scholarship, you will need to fill out the application form using this link:
Scholarship Application Form
On the Scholarship Program Request Form, Make sure all information is complete and includes a live signature. This can be an electronic or handwritten signature, but not typed. You will need to upload three documents:
1) Filled & Signed Scholarship Program Request Form 2024-2025
2) Your child’s birth certificate and
3) A recent utility bill (electricity, gas, or water). The bill must show both the service and billing addresses and be from the last six months.
Once you have uploaded the three documents, submit the form on Digital Academy.
The application will be processed by the Ohio Department of Education. We do not have a definitive time to give you when a decision about your application will be made. However, you will receive communication once a decision is being made.
I hope this helps explain the scholarship application process.
Jazakum Allah Khairan,
Nasser
