Do Diocese of Cleveland schools accept the Cleveland Scholarship and EdChoice?
Yes, the diocesan schools are chartered, which is what both programs require. In our directory 89 of the 90 Catholic schools appear on Ohio's chartered list, and each listing shows the status.
What is the difference between DTA and an Angel Scholarship?
Diocesan Tuition Assistance is need-based aid the diocese awards through participating schools, nearly $3 million for 2025-26. Angel Scholarships come from the tax-credit gifts donors make to the Angel Scholarship Fund, often for a named school, and each school runs its own application; nearly $8.1 million was awarded for 2025-26.
Which Catholic high schools in Cleveland run their own SGO?
St. Ignatius, Saint Joseph Academy, Magnificat, Beaumont, Benedictine, Saint Martin de Porres and the Notre Dame Schools in Chardon each have a certified scholarship granting organization, according to the Attorney General's 2026 list.
How much does a voucher cover at a Catholic high school?
Up to $8,408 for 2026-27. High school tuition is typically higher, and under the Cleveland Scholarship even low-income families can owe the high school balance, so DTA, the school's aid and its SGO carry more weight in grades 9-12.
