1. Do you live in Iowa?

Iowa residents are eligible to apply for an education savings account through Odyssey. The application opens in April and is due June 30. While all Iowa residents are eligible, families must submit an application to receive funds. Iowa legislature determines the ESA amount each year.

2. Are you an active, registered member of a Catholic parish in Dubuque?

A parish subsidy is available to active members of one of the 11 supporting Catholic parishes in the Dubuque East and West Pastorates. Parishes will verify active membership, and the subsidy will be automatically applied to each student's tuition balance. View a list of all Dubuque area parishes at the bottom of this calculator.

3. Is your family’s adjusted gross income 400% of the federal poverty level or less?

All families can apply for Student Tuition Organization (STO) funds, scholarships, or grants through the FACTS application. The application does require a completed tax return.
