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

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

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.
Tanya — St. George
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
Cristina — Layton
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

Hello! We are second generation homeschoolers. A dream of mine with my three children (ages 7, 5, and 1), as my husband and I were both homeschooled for varying times and seasons in our childhood. We deeply value choice in education. One of our children has an auto-immune disease that
Stephanie — Logan
The Utah Fits All Scholarship would help our family a great deal. Because we homeschool, the cost of all education and related extra activities comes from our own income. Public school students receive free or low cost lunches. We pay for all our meals because we homeschool. We pay our
Nickolaus — West Valley
I’m sad to report that we didn’t receive the scholarship, but we hope both of our children will next year. For the 2025 legislative session, I sincerely request that you expand the scholarship so my children can benefit from breaking out of their limited school choices in West Valley City.
Angela — West Jordan
I’m very grateful for the Utah Fits All Scholarship because it is a way for my daughter to stay in private school. The smaller class size is helping her do so much better than she was before. Not only that, but being on disability the scholarship has helped so much
Rachel — American Fork
Last year we applied for the Utah Fits All Scholarship for our daughter, Rory (14), and son, Ed (12). Both our kids had been attending a local private school for the past two years; a school that aligns with our family’s values as well as having a strong focus on
Nelda — Heber City
We have been so incredibly grateful to receive the Utah Fits All Scholarship. My husband was unemployed for a whole year last year and that unfortunate incident, combined with inflation, left us wondering how we were going to pay for any type of homeschool curriculum, school supplies, or extracurricular experiences
Vilate — Bluffdale
I am a mother of seven children with five in school. I have homeschooled since my first was in preschool. I’ve always found it frustrating that our tax dollars go to pay for education that my children never have and probably never will participate in while we pay the costs
Carlie — Kamas
My family is beyond grateful for the Utah Fits All Scholarship. My kids really struggled with public school and we made the uneasy decision to homeschool. They are now thriving and have become so much more confident and do not struggle with so much anxiety and stress anymore. Homeschooling was

We have been incredibly blessed to receive the Utah Fits All Scholarship for our children. It has provided us with such wonderful flexibility in how we educate each of our four children by giving us the resources to truly tailor our education methods and supplies for them individually. We have

I am pleased to have the opportunity to write about our experience with Utah Fits All. I first read about the scholarship through an online ad. I felt excited, as I had been homeschooling my three kids since December of 2019. But I also had doubts, because I thought it

Like most parents, I care deeply about the education of my children. As their mother, I wish to provide them with the broadest, richest education possible while they are in my home. Before being able to use the Utah Fits All Scholarship, we did our best to save and put

Last year my son was in first grade at a local charter school. Almost every day at drop off he would cry going into school. He would always say when I picked him up that his days were so long and that he missed me so much. I felt this
