Calling All Adults 18+:
How Do I Qualify?
To qualify, you:
- Must be an Ohio resident
- Must be 18 years of age or older
- Cannot have a GED or another high school equivalency
- Cannot be currently enrolled as a student in an Ohio school district
- Must have achieved a competency score on the Algebra I and English Language Arts II end-of-course exams, OR have completed at least 10th grade of high school
To ensure students are successful in the program, we highly recommend having completed some of 10th grade to enroll. The Ohio Department of Education & Workforce has a two-year funding limit, and a high percentage of students who have not completed at least some of 10th grade are unable to finish the program within that time frame.
Ohio adults who have not finished 9th grade have other options to earn their diplomas! Here are two links from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce website for programs that may be a better fit and allow you to finish high school for FREE:
