• Fill out one application per student, found here.

These scholarships are funded through the generous gifts of members of our school community through the Ohio state tax credit program. While all students at Legacy Christian Academy are eligible to apply for and receive a scholarship, awards will be prioritized for students with demonstrated financial need.
