The Northwest Ohio Scholarship Fund along with National School Choice Week are presenting a School Choice School Fair for kindergarten through eighth grades, Saturday, January 29, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Franciscan Center, on the campus of Lourdes University, 6832 Convent Boulevard.
Interested families can learn about the different educational options available in northwest Ohio including private schools, charter schools, public schools and homeschooling as well as tuition scholarships.
“The pandemic created conditions that forced families to seek out fresh solutions for their children’s education. Parents saw more clearly than ever that children truly have a variety of learning needs. This fair will give parents an opportunity to visit with schools to see what they have to offer,” said Megan Salameh, project coordinator for the Northwest Ohio Scholarship Fund.
Representatives from 30 participating schools and School Choice Ohio will have tables with informational materials to share.
EdChoice scholarships provide students from underperforming schools as well as students whose household gross income is at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. There are more than 200,000 students eligible for an EdChoice voucher in Ohio for the 2022-23 school year.
The Northwest Ohio Scholarship Fund awards assistance for low-income students who reside in one of 19 counties in northwest Ohio for private school tuition and homeschool expenses.
The family-friendly event will include a picture booth and DJ to entertain children. Parking and admission are free.
