Did you know that the state of Ohio is giving qualifying families $1,000 PER CHILD for after school enrichment activities like music lessons? That’s right, The Ohio Afterschool Child Enrichment (ACE) Educational Savings Account program provides funds for a variety of educational and enrichment activities. Ohio children ages 6-18 who meet income requirements can receive up to $1,000 per child to spend on activities like music lessons at Musicologie!
It’s easy to apply, and the income requirements aren’t strict. For example if you’re a family of four, you can earn up to $111,000 per year and qualify to receive $1000 per child.
At Musicologie we have many students who have qualified and are enjoying music lessons right now paid for through their ACE funds. It’s totally worth it to apply for funding.
