Working in partnership with parents, whom are the primary educators of their children, local Catholic parishes work to provide an affordable Catholic education to young people in our school communities. Therefore, families are eligible to apply for scholarships and financial aid (if offered by their parish) provided that they meet the requirements of each.​

​

1.  EdChoice Traditional Scholarship

Offered by the Ohio Department of Education, this scholarship is for students from under performing public schools. The scholarship pays up to $6,166 per student toward the tuition at a private school. The scholarship is renewable each year provided that the student complies with academic testing and school attendance. For 2026, the application period for all paperwork to be processed in the school and submitted to the State of Ohio runs from February 2, 2026 through May 1, 2027.

​

2.  EdChoice Income-Based Scholarship

Offered by the Ohio Department of Education, this scholarship is for students who will be entering grades K-12. The scholarship pays up to $6166 per student toward tuition at a private school, and for families who meet federal low income status, this fulfills the student’s tuition requirement.  The scholarship is renewable each year, but since the number of scholarships is limited, it is important that all information be submitted as early as possible to the State of Ohio so as not to lose the opportunity for this scholarship. For 2026, the application period runs from February 2, 2026 through May 1, 2027.

​

When applying for this scholarship, be sure to list all of your children registering at Regina Coeli, St. Catherine, and Blessed Sacrament parish schools. This information will affect the scholarship value for students attending Regina Coeli School.
