Utah offers an education savings account (ESA) that homeschooling families can use, plus the scholarships, grants, and tax-credit options below.
Utah ESA program
Utah Fits All Scholarship
~$8,500/yrOpen to any Utah K-12 student. $8,000/year. Apply through the Utah State Board of Education.
Runs through: Odyssey
Official program & application →Utah Fits All — a big award, with the records to match.
Utah Fits All (~$8,000 for a private-school student, ~$4,000–$6,000 for a home-based student, via Odyssey) reimburses approved educational expenses with documentation, and the law requires annual and random account audits. The ESA Wallet checks eligibility before you buy and keeps an audit-ready trail of the whole award.
- Eligibility check before you buy
- Audit-ready records for the statutory annual/random audits
- Spend tracked per child against your award
⚠️ Utah Fits All was ruled unconstitutional in 2025 and is operating during appeal — verify its current legal status first. A 'home-based' recipient isn't automatically a registered homeschooler.

Funding programs change often. About Time organizes receipts and checks likely eligibility — it does not file or submit on your behalf. Confirm amounts, eligibility, and deadlines with each program before you rely on them.
