Alabama ESA FAQs

  • What is Alabama’s Education Savings Account (ESA) Program?

    Alabama’s ESA program was created under the Creating Hope and Opportunity for Our Students’ Education (CHOOSE) Act of 2024 and is administered by the Alabama Department of Revenue (ALDOR). The program provides refundable income tax credits, called Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), to help eligible K–12 students access flexible education options.
    Families participating in a home education program can receive $2,000 per student (up to $4,000 per family), which can be used for tuition, fees, and other qualified educational expenses through approved Education Service Providers (ESPs).

  • Can I use ESA funds to purchase Apologia homeschool curriculum?

    Yes. Apologia homeschool Christian curriculum aligns with the types of qualified educational expenses permitted under the CHOOSE Act. Families can generally use Alabama Education Savings Account funds to purchase textbooks, digital curriculum, lab kits, notebooks, and other instructional materials offered by Apologia. All purchases must be made and documented through ClassWallet, the state’s ESA payment and reimbursement platform.

  • Who qualifies for an ESA in Alabama?

    Eligibility for the CHOOSE Act ESA depends on criteria established by the state, which may include factors like school zoning, income, special education needs, or priority categories defined by Alabama law.

    As eligibility requirements may evolve with the implementation of the CHOOSE Act, parents should refer to the official Alabama ESA website or ALDOR guidance for the most current qualification details.

  • What Types of Expenses Can ESA Funds be Used for?

    Families can apply through the Alabama ESA/CHOOSE Act application portal, managed by ALDOR. The application typically requires:

    • Proof of Alabama residency
    • Student information
