2015-16 Income Limits for New Students
Milwaukee Parental Choice Program
For the 2015-16 school year, the family income of a student new to the program must be at or below the amount listed in
the table below. If a student is continuing in the program or was on a choice waiting list at a choice school in the prior
year, he or she is no longer required to meet the income limits. Family income includes the income of the student’s
parent(s) or legal guardian(s) that reside in the same household as the student applicant. If the student’s parents/legal
guardians are married their income is reduced by $7,000 when determining income eligibility for the program. Family size
includes parents/legal guardians and their children by birth, marriage or adoption that reside in the same household as the
student applicant.

Applying

  • Go to http://sms.dpi.wi.gov/mpcp_apps
  • Open the application titled “New Student Application” or pick up a copy at the school office. This can be filled out on the computer and then printed, or filled out with pen.
  • Turn in the completed application to the school office along with
        1. An acceptable residency verification document (A list of acceptable documents can be found here in the list under Step 2).     
        2. If did not include your Social Security Numbers on the application, or you did not file any taxes in the previous year, please also turn in a Family Income Eligibility Form.



How does a student apply for the MPCP?
The parent or guardian must complete a Choice student application form and submit it to the school during a
school’s open application period(s).  Parents will have to prove the child's residency in the City of
Milwaukee (MPCP). 

New students, not continuing in the program or on a choice waiting list at a choice school in the prior year, will have to also provide income documentation. Parents/guardians may either: 
(a) provide their social security numbers or taxpayer identification number and have the Department of Revenue determine
whether the student is income eligible for the program; or 

(b) complete the Department of Public Instruction’s alternative income forms and the school will determine whether the student meets the income requirements.
Choice schools must inform parents 

(a) how many Choice program slots are open by grade level; 
(b) the date, if necessary, of a lottery to select Choice students if more applications are received than there are Choice slots
available; and 

(c) within 60 days of receiving the student's completed application, whether or not the child has been accepted into the Choice program. A student can apply to the Choice program at one or more schools at any time during a school’s open application periods.
