This article is for BESE-approved Nonpublic Schools participating in 2025–26 that are re-verifying to continue in the LA GATOR Scholarship Program for the 2026–27 school year.
Step 1: Start Application
Before starting your school’s re-verification, Odyssey will email the primary contact with instructions to log into their Odyssey School Account. From there, they can select the 2026–27 program year from the drop-down menu in the upper-right corner to re-verify their information for the upcoming year.
After selecting 2026–27 from the drop-down menu, you may begin the re-verification process.
Please click the [Start Registration] button to begin.
Step 2: Review Primary Contact Information
As part of this process, you’ll be prompted to review and update the primary contact information. This person is the main account holder on the Odyssey platform and will be able to add additional users once re-verification is complete.
Step 3: Verify the School Information
- Review and edit the school address.
- Provide the Parish your school is in. To do so, click on the Parish box and select the Parish from the drop down.

Step 4: Provide Additional School Information
- Enter the Minimum and Maximum grade levels approved by BESE from the dropdown that will pop up.
