What Is the Alabama CHOOSE Act?
Alabama's CHOOSE Act (Creating Hope and Opportunity for Our Students' Education) is the state's Education Savings Account program, giving families access to public education funding that can be used for a wide range of approved learning expenses. Instead of sending funds directly to a school, the state deposits money into a parent-controlled account, letting you choose how to educate your child.
CHOOSE Act funds can be used for curriculum, online learning platforms, homeschooling materials, tutoring, and more. For families who homeschool or supplement their child's education, this opens up real options for finding resources that work.
This guide walks you through exactly how Alabama CHOOSE Act funds work, what they can be spent on, and how to find curriculum that qualifies — so you can make confident, informed decisions for your child's learning.

Step by Step
How to Use Alabama CHOOSE Act Funds
Follow these five steps to put your CHOOSE Act funds to work on your child's education.
1
Log into your CHOOSE Act parent portal
Access the Alabama CHOOSE Act portal administered by the Alabama Department of Revenue, where you can view your account balance, track expenses, and manage your education funds.
2
Check approved expense categories
Review the list of approved expense categories to confirm that the type of product or service you want to purchase is covered under the Alabama CHOOSE Act program.
3
Choose an eligible provider or curriculum
Search for an approved education service provider or curriculum that meets your child’s learning needs. Look for structured, educational materials designed for your child’s age group.
4
Make your purchase or submit for reimbursement
Complete your purchase using the approved payment method. Depending on the vendor, you may pay directly through the CHOOSE Act portal or submit a reimbursement claim.
5
Keep receipts and records for compliance
Save all receipts and documentation from your purchase. Alabama requires CHOOSE Act families to maintain records that verify funds were spent on approved educational expenses.
Important Reminder
Always check the latest Alabama CHOOSE Act guidelines from the Alabama Department of Revenue to ensure your purchase qualifies. Rules and approved categories can change, so it's worth reviewing before each purchase.
