This year, $50 million has been allocated for the Ohio afterschool child enrichment (ACE) educational savings program, with another $75 million allocated for next year. Your organization may be eligible to receive a portion of these funds as additional revenue while helping families and children in your community and across the state.

Under the program, participating families will receive up to $1,000 per student to spend on afterschool programs and services. Parents can choose to pay you directly for services and submit receipts to Ohio ACE for reimbursement, or submit your invoice for services to Ohio ACE for direct payment to you. Either way, you'll be helping Ohio families use their educational savings accounts to help further a child's education.

If your organization offers a qualifying program or service under the Ohio Revised Code, you may apply below to be listed as a Qualified Education Service Provider (QESP). Your organization will be listed in the online Marketplace, where parents can search for your organization and the services you provide.
