What is the Utah Education Fits All scholarship program?
The Utah Fits All scholarship is a new school choice program funded by the State of Utah. All K-12 students are eligible, including public school, private school, and homeschool students. The scholarship will take the form of an education savings account and go into effect for the 2024-2025 school year.
This school choice program is a huge step for the state and allows students from all zip codes, financial backgrounds, and learning abilities the opportunity to find the best education solution for them. Scholarship funds can be used for a wide variety of educational needs, such as:
- Private school tuition and fees
- Textbooks, paper, pens, and other school supplies
- Educational software, apps, and online curricula
- Hardware such as laptops and calculators
- Therapies and accommodations for disabled students
- Testing fees, transportation costs, field trips, and more
Who Qualifies for Utah Education Fits All?
The only requirements for eligibility are being a resident of Utah and being in grades K-12. Families of recipients will be awarded $8,000 per student annually.
The scholarship’s first year in operation will be the 2024-2025 school year, with $42 million of funding available. If demand is greater than supply, students in low-income households and siblings of recipients will be given priority. You can pre-apply today and be the first to know of any updates, changes, and application openings.
Students who currently receive the Carson Smith Special Needs scholarship or the Special Needs Opportunity scholarship are ineligible to receive the Utah Fits All scholarship at the same time.
Students who currently attend a public school full time are eligible to apply for the scholarship. However, after accepting the scholarship, they are not allowed to continue attending full time. This is to prevent students from being “counted” in the budget twice. Students may attend public school part time and receive a prorated portion of funding instead of the full scholarship amount.
How Do I Get Miacademy With the Utah Education Fits All Scholarship?
Currently, Miacademy will be an approved purchase for reimbursement for the program. Families can use their scholarship funds to pay for our online homeschool curriculum retroactively.
At the time of writing, the Utah school choice program is still under construction, and details such as how to access funds are still being decided by the program manager. However, you can track the program’s progress, view the timeline, and pre-apply at utaheducationfitsall.org.
