Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (WPCP)

School Choice Program

Trinity Lutheran Church and School is part of the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (WPCP). For students who qualify and then are selected to receive a voucher through the WPCP, the family receives a voucher from the State of Wisconsin that pays their student’s Trinity tuition in full. The voucher remains with the student through their time at Trinity and continues into high school.

During the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years K5-8th grades are an entry point into the WPCP. Starting with the 2025-26 school year K5 and 1st grade are considered entry pointes unless you are coming from a public school. This means all students who meet the income criteria and apply are eligible. Students who receive a voucher for grade school can transfer the voucher directly to WLA without having to meet the income criteria.

The cap for vouchers in the 2024-25 is scheduled to be 8% of the school district’s total enrollment where the family resides. For school districts where more students apply than the cap allows, students are selected by random by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Eligibility is based on family size and Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) as reported on your 2023 tax return (see chart below) and being a resident of the State of Wisconsin.
