Jon Peterson Scholarship
This scholarship is available to students who have been identified as having a disability that requires specially designed instruction as determined by requirements set forth by ODE. Students have access to both classroom- and assessment-based accommodations and specially designed instruction through a Jon Peterson-funded intervention specialist. Eligibility determination is reevaluated every 3 years.
While Bishop Watterson is an approved Jon Peterson Scholarship Provider, we only provide services to the following categories:
- Specific Learning Disability (SLD)
- Other Health Impairment (OHI)
Additionally, state law still permits a family to receive only one state scholarship, either EdChoice or Jon Peterson.
