SAFE Account Integration with the OH|ID System

The SAFE Portal is being integrated with the OH|ID System in order to process applications in a more secure, streamlined way. All homeschool and nonpublic student families will need to access the funding award letters through the new OH|ID System.
 

Important Reminders:

  • All public school, private school and homeschool students must declare their intent to participate by April 1 each year, even if they participated last year. Letters of intent for public school students may be downloaded from the “Forms” section below. Letters of intent for private school and homeschool students will be included in the funding application, starting in 2020. 
  • Parents of private and homeschool students are required to establish an OH|ID account before the family can apply for funding (https://ohid.ohio.gov). The OH|ID account can be established at any time, and has replaced the SAFE Portal to access funding applications and awards.
  • All high schools must provide an information session for families and students between October 1 and February 15.
