Overview
The Wisconsin Special Needs Scholarship Program (SNSP) was launched in 2016 to allow students with disabilities to receive state-funded scholarships to attend participating private schools. The program was established to provide families with flexible educational alternatives to traditional public school special education through IEP-funded private options. It is designed for Wisconsin residents who have an active Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 plan and wish to pursue education outside the public school system.
