In 2012, the state of Ohio began the Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship Program (JPSN). This program uses tax dollars to allow students with learning disabilities to receive services from an Ohio Department of Education approved provider.

Ohio Autism Scholarship Increase July 1, 2022

July 1, 2022
Along with others, North Coast Tutoring Services, and families have been advocating for an increase in scholarship funding for the last several years. We know the positive impact this will have for Ohio students and providers. Governor DeWine signed an amendment into law last evening increasing the Autism Scholarship amount to $31,500 for FY22 and $32,455 for FY23. These increases are effective for scholarship fiscal years beginning July 1, 2021 and July 1, 2022, respectively. We are grateful for the support of all the members of the House, Senate, Conference Committee, and especially, State Senator Bob Peterson, and Governor DeWine for making the Autism Scholarship a priority.
