A finalized Individualized Education Program (IEP) from their district of residence is required to receive the scholarship award. Scholarship award amounts are based on the disability category identified on the student's ETR. Category amounts are set by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) and updated on an annual basis. The student must be enrolled in the scholarship program for the entire school year to receive the full scholarship amount. Students have the ability to apply for the JPSN Scholarship year-round.
