Ohio scholarships that make kids smile

Ohio Scholarship Programs

CCIC, Inc. is an approved provider of Speech-Language services for these scholarship programs:

Autism Scholarship Program

The Autism Scholarship Program (ASP) gives the parents of children with autism who qualify for a scholarship the choice to send the child to a special education program other than the one operated by the school district of residence to receive their education and the services outlined in the child's individualized education program (IEP). Section 3310.41 of the Revised Code establishes the ASP and requires the Ohio Department of Education to adopt rules prescribing procedures to implement the program.

Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship Program

Governor Kasich signed the biennial state operating budget in June 2011, which included language to create a new special education scholarship program named after former state legislator and special education advocate Jon Peterson. The Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship Program will provide scholarships to students who are eligible to attend kindergarten through 12th grade and have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) from their district of residence. The amount of each scholarship will be based on the disability identified on the student’s IEP and will not exceed $20,000.
