We have always homeschooled our kids, and receiving the Utah Fits All Scholarship has truly changed our educational experience. We are able to not only expand with our homeschool curriculum but also utilize outsourced classes that have transformed their whole learning experience. Without the scholarship, our kids’ education would be

This year has been phenomenal. We have homeschooled years before but we weren’t able to afford many supplemental classes or experiences. We were just focusing on basic required subjects. This year, with the Utah Fits All Scholarship, we were able to bring subjects to life with more hands-on learning opportunities.

I have two children on the Utah Fits All Scholarship, and it has been such a huge blessing for our family. My husband, who has terminal brain cancer, became disabled and unable to work this year due to his disease progression. With my kids’ tumultuous lives with a sick dad,
Maribel — Riverton
Thanks to the Utah Fits All Scholarship, my grandson, Mario, is doing great at our school of choice. He’s currently in 2nd grade but because he scored high on the math test in the first quarter, he attends 3rd grade class everyday for math. Mario is very confident and shows

Where should I begin when sharing our amazing journey thus far as a Utah Fits All Scholarship family? For starters, this is our second year participating in the program. We have two scholarship students, Owen (5th grade) and Reilly (3rd grade) plus little brother, Aidan who is preschool age! Since

My son Jaxson is in 1st grade. He is going to a private school called Choice, where they believe parents are students’ first guide in education and they allow us to lead our children’s learning. Jaxson has been struggling with reading this year. He’s been behind and his dad and
Kelsey — West Jordan
Because of the Utah Fits All Scholarship, my two children have been so blessed. We have found a community of kids, parents, and teachers who share our values and are able to offer these important values to our children in their education. They both thrive in a smaller cohort, which
Rebecca — Cedar City
We live in Southern Utah. We have significantly fewer educational options compared to the more populous areas up North. Our children have special needs. They simply don’t fit into the public schools. We tried. The kids cried every day. Right now, we are homeschooling without any outside support. We have

I grew up in a family of seven with very diverse educational needs. Due to a lack of access to support and funding, all of us were put through public school with varying levels of success. As a child with undiagnosed ADHD, I always wondered why it felt like I

My 9-year-old son has always had a deep love for music. For years he dreamed of learning piano, but formal lessons weren’t financially possible for us. That didn’t stop him—he began teaching himself on a secondhand keyboard, playing by ear and watching online tutorials. His passion was undeniable, but he
Tessa — Logan
My daughter Evie is 9 years old. She was in public school for pre-K through second grade. Evie loved being in school because she is so social. The problem was that academically she was not successful. The time it took to process words (reading) and math did not fit with

My son, Jax, is in fifth grade. He went to public school for K through fourth grade. His experience with public school was marked by struggle—he was constantly in trouble and behind academically because ‘he won’t stop talking.’ At every single parent-teacher conference, the concerned teacher would recommend that I

As a mother of three—Nikolai (9), Annika (8), and Kiko (2)—the Utah Fits All Scholarship has been a game changer for our family.

I want to thank lawmakers for your ongoing commitment to choice in education. Your dedication to this cause is deeply appreciated by families like ours, who benefit immensely from having the ability to choose the best educational paths for our children. Our family applied for the Utah Fits All Scholarship

We were waitlisted this year because we’re just barely over the income cutoff for Tier 1. It’s tough as a family of seven with only one income, but I’m glad that those even worse off were given priority. I love being home with my children and personalizing their educations to
Emily — Layton
We are a family of six, soon to be seven. We love our children so much, so a good education is one of the best gifts we can give them. We had been researching options outside of public school for over a year, and we found one that really aligned
Isaac — South Jordan
We are a family that homeschools since the COVID pandemic. We realized our only school-aged child at the time, Sophia, did better at home. We had been told she had difficulties reading because she was speaking both Portuguese and English at the same time. We discovered we could teach her.

Hello! We have four children that would benefit greatly from the Utah Fits All Scholarship. We unfortunately missed the cutoff last year to apply, so for the fourth year in a row we scraped together the money to send our oldest three kids to a private school. We started in

We did not receive the Utah Fit All Scholarship. My husband works out of town. We love the flexibility homeschool offers us. I have always homeschooled our 7-year old, Heinrich. We also have a daughter turning five next year. Heinrich is a bright, strong-willed boy. He imagines big, sometimes too

We were hopeful to receive a Utah Fits All Scholarship this past year for my two boys, 12-year old Ty, and 10-year old Kipton, but unfortunately were not chosen. Recently, the Alpine School District closed a neighboring school, resulting in an influx of students into our elementary school without the

Thank you for empowering some Utah families with the responsibility and freedom to choose the education they desire for their children. My husband and I view education as a parental responsibility and privilege. The education we provide to our children will not only benefit them, their family, their community, but

Education is a top priority in our home. As devout members of our faith, spiritual growth is seen as an integral part of our children’s education. We have been greatly blessed to have a school close by that integrates spiritual and secular learning in a way that has been monumental

Though each of my six kids, ages 6 to 16, has a story equally important and unique, I’ll share a bit about my daughter. After homeschooling for a few years my kids were advanced in English and math. During a particularly difficult pregnancy, I put my two oldest in public
