The ESA application for the 2024-25 school year is not currently open. Families will receive a communication when the application for next school year is open. (The target date is supposed to be April 16th.) ESA funds may be used by eligible families to cover tuition, fees, and other qualified education expenses at accredited nonpublic schools in Iowa.

• Families must apply each year
• Eligible families in 2024-25 are the following:
• All kindergartners and first graders
• New transfer students
• Students who already received an ESA this year due to transferring to SPS for 2023-24
• Families whose income is less than 400% of poverty, which is just over $120,000 for a family of four
• In 2025-26, all families, regardless of income will be eligible for ESAs

*A non-qualifying preschooler for 2024-25 is a non-Iowa resident or student who turns 5 on or before Sept 15th. Tuition is charged for this student, and there is a registration fee. There is no extra time fee.

Thank you for choosing Catholic education.
