Utah Fits All Scholarship Program

All Utah K–12 students are eligible to participate, but funding is currently capped at $82.5 million, limiting how many can participate to approximately 10,000 students at a given time.  For the 2025-2026 school year, scholarships are valued at $8,000. Homeschooled students between ages 5 and 11 will receive $4,000, and homeschooled students between ages 12 and 18 will receive $6,000. Participants may roll over two-thirds of their unspent funds each year. Legislation passed in 2025 added limits to this program, capping an extracurricular expense at 20% of the student’s ESA value and a physical education expense at 20% of the student’s ESA value. A participant in this ESA program may not participate in the state’s two other choice programs.

Utah Code 53F-6-401 through 53-F-6-414 

(Last updated July 15, 2024) 

In May 2024, a lawsuit was filed by Utah’s largest teachers’ union challenging the program and remains ongoing. Legislation to create the program was passed with referendum proof votes in the legislature, preventing a ballot initiative to recall the program. The Partnership for Educational Choice, a joint project between EdChoice and Institute for Justice, intervened in defense of the program on behalf of parents who benefit from the program. The litigation is still pending in trial court.
