What is SNSP?
Grace Christian Academy is proud to participate in the Wisconsin Special Needs Scholarship Program (SNSP). This program provides students with disabilities the opportunity to receive a state-funded scholarship to attend a participating private school, like GCA, that meets their unique learning needs — tuition-free.
Learn more about the SNSP from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI).
Who is eligible?
School-aged students (4 years old by September 1 for K4, 5 years old by September 1 for K5) that have a current IEP (dated no earlier than September 15, 2022 for the 2025-2026 school year), and that reside in Wisconsin are eligible to apply for the Special Needs Scholarship Program.
How to apply
Applications are accepted year round. We submit them to DPI for review and eligibility verification.
