EdChoice Expansion Applicants must complete and submit income verification through the Department of Education website. An OHID account is required to complete this step. Instructions to create an OHID account will be included in the income verification communication. Income verifications do not come to Heritage Classical Academy but are used by the Department of Education to determine your award.

The State of Ohio will mail you a Scholarship Acceptance Letter once your scholarship is approved. Check the box to accept the scholarship, then sign and return the letter to HCA Finance Office at finance@heritageclassicalacademy.org.
