The CHOOSE Act

The CHOOSE Act provides qualifying students with an opportunity to receive up to $7,000 a year for tuition, certain fees, and other eligible expenses at JPII. Signed into law by Governor Kay Ivey on March 7, 2024, the CHOOSE Act makes refundable income tax credits available in an educational savings account (ESA). 

Applications open on the Alabama Department of Revenue website on January 2, 2025, at 7:00 AM. The application remains open through April 7, 2025, or until funding is met. Award notifications are sent starting May 1, 2025.

  • Students cannot receive ESA funds and also have a scholarship from an SGO.
