Constitutional Challenge — Program Continues
In April 2025, a Utah district court ruled the Utah Fits All Scholarship unconstitutional. However, both parties agreed the program should continue operating normally during the state's appeal to the Utah Supreme Court. Applications for 2026–2027 are open and funding is being distributed.
How Much Does Your Child Qualify For?
The scholarship amount depends on your child's educational setting:
Scholarship Amounts for 2026–2027
Private school or educational services: Up to $8,000 per year
Homeschool, ages 5–11: $4,000 per year
Homeschool, ages 12–18: $6,000 per year
Unspent funds roll over — up to two-thirds of your balance carries to the next year. The total program funding is $120 million for 2026–2027, supporting approximately 10,000+ scholarships.
