Wisconsin Parental Choice Program


GRACE participates in the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (WPCP), also known as Choice or the School Voucher Program. This program allows eligible students who reside in Wisconsin, meet state requirements and are selected by the program to attend Catholic school tuition-free. Pursuant to Wisconsin State Statute 115.28 (54m), our schools are required to notify and provide the educational options available to all students who are at least 3 years old, but not yet 18 years old. Please click here to see the educational options represented for Wisconsin students.

For Academic Year 2024-25

Apply online between February 1 and April 18, 2024. The deadline to receive required application documents is April 18, 2024 at 4 p.m.
