EdChoice Scholarship
Eligibility for the EdChoice Scholarship is based on whether or not you reside in an underperforming school district.
The window for applications for the EdChoice Scholarship opens February 1, 2020 and runs through the first part of July, but all applications must be received in the Legacy Christian Academy office by April 18, 2020 in order to complete the processing steps.
PLEASE NOTE: Families are responsible for the LCA application fee or reenrollment fee for each student and the difference between the EdChoice Scholarship amount awarded and LCA tuition. To learn more about the EdChoice Scholarship Program please visit their website. For any questions regarding the admissions process, please contact us at 937-352-1640 or admissions@legacyknights.org.

- Students currently attending a public school in their resident district that has been rated in Academic Emergency or Academic Watch for two of the past three years are eligible to apply.
- Public school students attending a school in their resident district that will be assigned to such a school in the upcoming school year are also eligible to apply.
- Students currently attending a charter/community school whose home school is an eligible school on our list are also eligible to apply.
- Students currently attending a Private School (K-12) are not eligible.
