FAQs
What is the timeline for tuition assistance?
Need-based tuition assistance funds are awarded to returning and newly accepted students on a first-come, first-served basis. Note: OCEN SGO requires your prior year tax return (i.e. 2025 tax documents for the 2026–27 school year).
The Ohio EdChoice Scholarship application opens February 1. We encourage you to apply early for the most favorable consideration.
OCEN SGO applications open for the 2026–27 school year on December 1.
Who is eligible for tuition assistance?
North Campuses
New or returning kindergarten–Grade 12 students who show a demonstrated financial need as determined by Clarity and/or OCEN SGO. Tuition assistance is not currently available for our North Campus Early Learning Program (ages 2–4) students.
Armleder Campus
New or returning Pre-K 3/4–Grade 6 students who show a demonstrated financial need as determined by Clarity.
Are rewards renewable?
Yes, although the family must apply each year to receive continuing awards. Assuming no significant changes in financial circumstances, a family can expect that the amount of tuition assistance will remain consistent for the time the student is enrolled at CHCA.
How can I know if my income will qualify for tuition assistance?
Because the calculations of a family’s financial need are very individualized assessments based on a variety of factors (income, number of children applying to CHCA, assets, business gains/losses, etc.), we encourage all families for whom affordability is a concern to complete the applications. This is really the only reliable way to determine financial need.
Are there other scholarship opportunities?
Yes, CHCA accepts the Ohio EdChoice Scholarship at our Armleder Campus and for Grades 7–12 at our Founders’ and MSL Campuses. In addition, students in Grades 7–12 may be considered for merit scholarships.
Can tuition assistance be combined with an Ohio EdChoice scholarship?
Yes, tuition assistance may be combined with EdChoice scholarships. Please discuss your specific situation with your Admissions counselor.
Who sees my financial information?
The confidentiality of your financial information is maintained at all times, and only select Administrative Office staff members responsible for tuition assistance awards have access to the Clarity reports.
