Overview
The Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP) allows students living in the City of Milwaukee to attend participating private schools with state-funded vouchers. Started in 1990, it is the oldest modern voucher program in the US, established by the State of Wisconsin to help students from low-income families in Milwaukee. The program was designed as a private school choice initiative to provide families with financial grants to afford private education as an alternative to public schools.
