Financial Aid Options

List of 3 items.

    FIT stands for Family Individualized Tuition. FIT is an indexed tuition model that considers discretionary income when determining a family's unique tuition. FIT allows us to equitably and transparently consider financial needs when determining tuition.

  • EdChoice

    Lake Ridge Academy accepts the EdChoice Scholarship for all eligible students. Every Ohio student in grades K-12 is eligible for an EdChoice scholarship in either the "Traditional" form, based on assigned public school building, or the "Expansion" form, based on a decreasing pro-rated scale according to a family’s income. The state of Ohio determines eligibility under its guidelines. Once a student qualifies with the state, the scholarship remains in place through 12th grade, provided the student remains eligible. All families who request need-based tuition assistance from Lake Ridge must also apply for EdChoice, and your EdChoice award will be factored into your need-based tuition assistance package.

  • Scholarships

    Lake Ridge offers a number of scholarships to provide additional financial support to exceptional students entering grades 6-11. Scholarships are awarded based on various factors, including but not limited to financial need, academic merit, community service, or leadership.
