Apply for an ESA

The deadline to apply for fall funding is June 30, 2023

The Students First Act makes state funding available to support the success of every K-12 student in Iowa.  Education Savings Accounts may now be used by eligible families to cover tuition, fees, and other qualified education expenses for Bosco Catholic Schools. If you are eligible, the state will fund your child's account to cover the K-12 tuition listed here.

Most people learn of their acceptance within minutes of applying.  A few families applying by income eligibility may need to submit additional information so we suggest applying early just in case. 

If you have not already registered your child at Immaculate Conception K-8 or Don Bosco 9-12, make sure to do that too.
