Creating Hope and Opportunity for Our Students’ Education Act of 2024: The CHOOSE Act

  • The CHOOSE Act, signed into law by Governor Kay Ivey on March 7, 2024, makes education savings accounts (ESAs) available to support the success of every K-12 student in Alabama. The law requires the Alabama Department of Revenue to establish a framework and funding for ESAs, which may be used by eligible families to cover tuition, fees, and other qualified education expenses at approved education service providers (ESPs) in Alabama.

McGill-Toolen Catholic Tuition Assistance Program

  

Applications for the 2025-2026 school year are now open!

 

Funding for McGill-Toolen Catholic High School’s Tuition Assistance Program comes with thoughtful planning and income from our endowment gifts, our generous benefactors, and The Fund for McGill-Toolen Catholic. We seek students who demonstrate a motivation for learning and whose diverse talents, interests, and personal characteristics enhance our community. We seek families who support their children and the mission of our school.

 

We offer the following options:

 

McGill-Toolen Catholic General Scholarships

  • In order to be considered for McGill-Toolen Catholic General Scholarships, applicants must show proof that they have first applied for an Alabama Opportunity Scholarship and/or an ESA (educational saving account) provided through the CHOOSE Act and the Alabama Department of Revenue (if they qualify financially for both or either).
  • Applicants must have completed the school application for enrollment and/or re-enrollment, the General Scholarship Application Form and a verified FACTS application.
  • Priority will be given to students who are currently enrolled at McGill-Toolen Catholic or one of its partner schools.
  • A student must maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA and not have significant discipline or attendance issues. If his/her GPA falls below a 2.0, he/she will be put on a probation for one semester and could lose the scholarship if the GPA does not rise to 2.0 or higher by the end of the probationary period.
  • Scholarship amounts will vary based on need as determined by FACTS, but will not exceed 50% of tuition.
  • This is a one-year scholarship. Families must reapply each year.

 

Applications open November 1st. The first application deadline is December 31st, and scholarships will be awarded beginning in February.
