The New LA GATOR Scholarship Program
Louisiana is helping families to connect their children with a school or education program that fits their individual needs through the new LA GATOR Scholarship Program. Set to launch in the 2025-2026 school year, this program will provide funding for families to pay tuition and fees, access standalone courses, and purchase instructional materials and services from participating public and private schools, education service providers, and vendors. Initially focused on children who meet certain eligibility criteria, the program will soon expand to become universal–making all Louisiana families and children eligible–fulfilling the promise of helping ALL children reach their full potential.
