Merit International, Inc and the Ohio Department of Education partnered to offer The Ohio Afterschool Child Enrichment (ACE) Educational Savings Account program. The program provides funds to a student’s parent or guardian to use on various enrichment and educational activities. The ACE Educational Savings Account program is available to any student between the ages of 6 and 18 years old whose family income is at or below 300 percent of the federal poverty level. Qualifying children include those who attend any Ohio public or nonpublic school or are home educated by their parents.

Qualifying families can receive $500 and after April 7 $1000 per child that can be used to pay enrichment activities that will accelerate learning for students impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. These include day camps and field trips, tutoring, language and music lessons, study skill services and more.
