Ohio ACE: provider guide
Ohio ACE is closed to new participation. Providers should remove outdated enrollment promises and use official support for historical transaction questions rather than seeking new qualified-service-provider approval.

About this guide
An independent guide to Afterschool Child Enrichment (ACE) Education Savings Account Program, not an official application or an eligibility decision. Rules, application windows and available funds can change. Confirm your circumstances with the program before changing enrollment or committing money.
Closed
Check the official program statusBefore you start
There is no confirmed new ACE provider intake
The closure announcement supersedes older operating-period instructions. An old qualified-service-provider listing is historical participation, not authorization to accept new ACE-funded orders today.
Your next steps
Check your public ACE claims
Review advertisements, checkout instructions and saved application links against the closure notice. Avoid inviting families to obtain a new ACE award through an outdated provider page.
Organize historical transaction questions
Retain invoices, claim identifiers and program correspondence for any unresolved issue. Ask official support about the particular transaction; do not assume there is an open reimbursement or reconciliation window.
Apply separately to other Ohio programs
If your business fits another scholarship, use that program's current provider requirements. Former ACE participation does not replace professional qualifications or approval in Autism Scholarship or JPSN.
Preparation checklist
Use this to get organized. The current official application or handbook controls the full requirements.
- Updated website and checkout language reflecting ACE closure
- Historical invoice and claim records for unresolved issues
- Separate eligibility review for any other scholarship program
Submit identity, financial, student and medical records only through the verified official process. Do not upload application documents to ParentSurf or include them in a public review.
Important distinctions
- Do not advertise new ACE-funded purchases based on historical provider status.
- This guide makes no promise of payment for an unresolved historical claim.
