What is the WPCP?
For students selected by the state, families receive a voucher that pays their students' tuition in full. The State of Wisconsin has three programs that allow eligible students to attend a participating private school in grades 4K to 12. The private school, on behalf of the student's parent/guardian, receives a state aid payment for each eligible student.
Learn more about the WPCP by visiting the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. (Link Above)
Is your family eligible for the WPCP?
To meet the income requirements for the program a student’s family must have an Adjusted Gross Income at or below 220% of the federal poverty level, with an additional $7,000.00 allowed for a married couple. To open the requirement sheet, click the link above.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is early application advantageous?
We encourage you to register for the WPCP early, so there is adequate time to complete the necessary steps to confirm income and residency. However, the timing of the application does not give the applicant an advantage. Those who register near the end of the enrollment period have the same opportunity as those who register early.
If my child is in the Choice program, will he or she be treated differently?
Students in the Choice program are VCS students in every sense of the word. Families in our school will not know who is participating in the WPCP, and WPCP participants will not know which other students are also part of the WPCP.
Does the Choice payment cover every VCS related expense?
No, the Choice payment covers tuition and education-related fees in full. Expenses not covered by the choice payment include: Social and extracurricular activities. If you have questions, please contact our Admissions Director for clarification.
Is my family automatically in the program once we meet the income and residency requirements of the WPCP?
Not necessarily. If there are more applicants for a particular grade level than seats available, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) will conduct a random lottery to assign seats to applicants.
Am I finished with the process after I have submitted the online application?
No, all applicant families must provide two pieces of information to VCS.
1. Proof of residency.
This may be recent:
- Utility bill
- Cable bill
- Tax bill
- Another government-issued mailing
The information provided must prove that the family lives at the location they submitted on their online application.
2. The family must document their financial eligibility.
For those using the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) method, this typically means providing their completed and signed tax forms from the previous year to VCS. For those using the Department of Revenue (DOR) method, this means providing the Social Security number(s) of the parent(s) during the application process.
Whichever method the family selects, the online application form informs parents what to provide to VCS.
