STEP 2 – INCOME VERIFICATION

Traditional EdChoice Scholarship – Complete only if Low-Income Qualified

Families who qualify for low-income status do not have to pay any tuition that is not covered by the scholarship. You will be responsible for all fees.  For the family to be considered for the low-income status, the family must submit their household income annually to the Department of Education and Workforce.
