About EEF

The Educational Excellence Foundation (EEF) is an Ohio nonprofit, certified as a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO), that awards need-based K–12 tuition scholarships at our partner schools / region.

Our mission

To make a quality, faith-rooted education affordable for every family in our community.

How we’re funded

Ohio taxpayers can give up to $750 ($1,500 married filing jointly) and receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on their Ohio income tax. Those contributions become scholarships, paid directly to schools as tuition.

Who we serve

Scholarships go first to students from low-income families, as Ohio requires of every certified SGO.
