Can I use LA GATOR funds for tutoring?

Yes. Tutoring is an eligible expense under the LA GATOR Scholarship. The program replaced Louisiana's prior voucher system beginning in 2025-26 and runs on the Odyssey platform.

Do I pay anything up front?

Where Aristotle supports Direct Pay, no: your ESA pays Aristotle directly through the program portal. Other programs use reimbursement, meaning you pay first and submit documentation for approval. We will confirm which method applies before you enroll.

What paperwork does Aristotle provide?

Everything your program requires: itemized invoices with the student's name, service dates, and subjects covered. We also provide progress reports and vendor approval documentation on request.

What if I have multiple children?

Each student's ESA funds are separate, so each student requires an individual invoice. We prepare these automatically when you sign up.

How is Aristotle different from ChatGPT or a homework app?

Answer apps hand your child the solution and forget them when the chat ends. Aristotle teaches the way expert tutors do: it asks your child to explain their thinking, finds the misconception underneath a wrong answer, and guides them with questions until they solve it themselves. It remembers what your child has mastered and plans what to teach next.

Q: When is the LA GATOR application window?

The window is very short. Last spring it ran March 1-16. Demand significantly exceeds funding, and priority groups (prior voucher students, students with disabilities, lower-income families) are funded first. Plan ahead for next year.

Your LA GATOR Scholarship funds can cover Aristotle through Odyssey. Here's how the program works and how to get started.

How the LA GATOR Scholarship works

The LA GATOR Scholarship replaced Louisiana's voucher program beginning in 2025–26 and runs on Odyssey.
