Gov. Kay Ivey announced Thursday that the application portal for the CHOOSE Act, the state’s new Education Savings Account (ESA) program, is now open.
The ESA program supports the success of K-12 students across the state, according to Ivey.
Ivey said families in Alabama can start the new year with a great opportunity for school choice in their communities and by doing so with the CHOOSE Act, she said it will help our Alabama students receive the highest-quality education possible by giving greater flexibility to families to pursue educational options that meet their individual needs.
“It is a wonderful opportunity to make the future of Alabama stronger than ever,” Ivey said.
The CHOOSE Act is actively managed by The Alabama Department of Revenue and was signed into law by Kay Ivey in March last year, which provides ESAs to eligible K-12 students to help pay for school tuition, tutoring educational therapies and other qualified education expenses at approved education service providers (ESP) across the state, according to a statement from the Office of Governor Kay Ivey.
