WAITLIST FAQS

Why did I move down on the waitlist?

Your waitlist number may increase as a result of an appeal that placed someone
in a higher priority category than you, thus they would be placed ahead of you
on the waitlist.

Why did I move up on the waitlist?

Your waitlist number may decrease as students are awarded scholarships that are
in front of you, and you move closer to potentially getting awarded a
scholarship.

I am in priority category 1. Why has my waitlist 
number gone up? 

The waitlist number for an application in priority category 1 may increase as a
result of the following scenario:

An Application ahead of them has multiple children on their application, one of
which was determined ineligible. Parent appeals, and student is determined
eligible. Our system places all students from the same household together.
Therefore, that reinstated student would take a waitlist number alongside their
siblings, and potentially ahead of other Tier 1 families. 

For confidentiality reasons, we do not provide specific details on the reason
for the change in waitlist numbers.

What do I need to know about the UFA Expense List?


WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE UFA EXPENSE LIST?

The purpose of the approved expense list is to give parents confidence that
items on the list are considered approved expenses before making a purchase.

The approved expenses list is not meant to be exhaustive, and will change as the
program grows.

This list will grow and evolve as the Utah Fits All Scholarship Program grows
and evolves.

Some expenses may require pre-approval, as not all decisions regarding expenses
have been made at this time. When needed, ACE will use our Pre-Approval Process
to issue determinations and engage in consultation with the Expense Advisory
Committee.

Price limitations:

You’ll notice that there are no listed price-related limitations or restrictions
on this expense list (including instruments). ACE’s decision against listing
price caps is meant to allow families the flexibility to purchase the
educational items they need while exercising reason.

At times, pre-approval may be required for some expenses:

If an educational expense is outside the typical dollar amount for an item or
service, the educational purpose is unclear, item does not appear
developmentally appropriate or the item or service is specifically for students
with disabilities, ACE may ask for a justification for the item or service and
the educational benefit it provides to the scholarship student. All purchases,
unless explicitly stated, are only approved for the scholarship student.

Trips, passes, tickets and memberships:

All expenses related to trips, passes, tickets and memberships must be primarily
educational. Names of locations in the “locations” and “field trips” categories
are meant to represent examples of locations where passes and memberships may be
approved. This list is not representative of the approved qualified providers in
the Utah Fits All Scholarship Program. Please refer to our Approved Provider
List for a list of all approved providers who accept UFA Scholarship funds.

Don’t see an expense on the Expense List?

Educational expenses not featured on the Expense List may still be approved by
submitting a Request for Pre-Approval Form through the pre-approval process
starting July 1, 2024. Once the request goes through the process, if approved,
the parent will be notified. See how the process works here.

PLEASE NOTE: Approval for an item or service for one scholarship student does
not guarantee that the item or service will be approved for all scholarship
students. ACE acknowledges that every student is unique and may have different
circumstances that impact the justification of an item or service.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the Utah Fits All (UFA) Scholarship Program?

The Utah Fits All Scholarship Program, launching for the first time in the
2024-2025 school year, offers tax free scholarship funds to eligible students
for use toward eligible education related expenses.

Who is administering the program?

The Utah Fits All Scholarship Program is administered by ACE Scholarships, a
non-profit organization founded in 2000 to provide K-12 students from lower
income families with scholarship funds to attend private schools. ACE is proud
to have been serving Utah families since 2022 by partnering with 26 private
schools and administering more than 160 scholarships totaling over $500,000. ACE
Scholarships is contracted with the Utah State Board of Education for the
administration of the Program.

How do I know if my child is eligible? 

A student who is a resident of Utah, including a child of a military service
member, as defined in Section 53B-8-102; eligible to participate in K-12 (at
least 5 years old and no more than 18 years old on or before September 1 of the
year in which you are applying),does not receive the Carson Smith Opportunity
Scholarship; is not enrolled in an LEA or in the Statewide Online Education
Program (SOEP) upon receiving the scholarship.

How are applications placed in an order of preference?

*Add $10,760 for the 200% FPL for each person in household over 8 persons
**Add $29,859 for the 555% FPL for each person in household over 8 persons
SOURCE: medicaidplanningassistance.org/federal-poverty-guidelines/

For 2024-2025 school year there are three levels of preference:

 1. Students whose family income is at the 200% Federal Poverty Level or less
    will be awarded scholarships first.
 2. Next, are students whose family’s income is between 200-555%.
 3. Last, it is open to all Utah K-12 students regardless of family income.

Will the application process be different if my child requires special education
and has an IEP or Service Plan?

No, we do not require any additional information during the application period
for a student who requires special education.

Can my child be enrolled in a public school while participating in the program?

A child may not be enrolled in a public district school or public charter
school. However, the child may be enrolled in the public school at the time of
application. If awarded, the child must be disenrolled prior to the start of the
school year in which they plan to use the scholarship funds. Any public school
that wishes to participate will apply as an eligible school, describing the
services, courses, and programs they plan to offer the scholarship student. Once
the public school is approved and onboarded with the Utah Fits All Scholarship
Program, families may use their scholarship funds to pay for services provided
by the school.

How much is the award amount, and is it the same amount for every child?

All scholarship students will be entitled to $8,000 per school year. Funds do
not roll over into the following school year, so families are encouraged to
budget accordingly in order to maximize use of their student’s funds.

How and when will money be disbursed to families?

Funds will be disbursed in early August 2024. A separate digital wallet will be
established for each scholarship student. Parents can expect a single sign on
using the ACE Access Portal, where their digital wallet dashboard will inform
them of their student’s account balance and any outstanding invoices. The
digital wallet is where parents will upload invoices, initiate payments to
approved vendors, request reimbursements and shop the digital marketplace for
goods and services using their student’s funds.

Though awarded students will receive the funds in their account in August, we
encourage families (even those who are waitlisted) to save receipts for all
education related expenses. Awarded scholarship students may submit for
reimbursement for any time sensitive purchases prior to fund disbursement.
Waitlisted students are also encouraged to keep track of receipts in the event
they are awarded, they are able to upload receipts for reimbursement from July 1
until award date.

What happens if I use my child’s funds before the end of the year?

We encourage maximum use of every child’s scholarship funds, since there will be
no option to roll funds over into the following school year. If a parent
exhausts their scholarship funds prior to the end of the school year, they must
pay for education related goods and services by other means.

What may scholarship funds be used for?

A scholarship expense is an expense that a parent or scholarship student incurs
in the education of the scholarship student for a service or goods that a
qualifying provider provides. The following list describes the approved expense
categories. Families are encouraged to reach out to an ACE customer service
representative if they have questions about individual purchases.

 1.  tuition and fees of a qualifying provider
 2.  fees and instructional materials at a technical college
 3.  tutoring services
 4.  fees for after-school or summer education programs
 5.  textbooks, curricula, or other instructional materials, including any
     supplemental materials or associated online instruction that a curriculum
     or a qualifying provider recommends
 6.  educational software and applications
 7.  supplies or other equipment related to a scholarship student’s educational
     needs
 8.  computer hardware or other technological devices that are intended
     primarily for a scholarship student’s educational needs
 9.  fees for the following examinations, or for a preparation course for the
     following examinations, that the program manager approves: a national
     norm-referenced or standardized assessment, an advanced placement
     examination, or another similar assessment, a state-recognized industry
     certification examination, an examination related to college or university
     admission
 10. educational services for students with disabilities from a licensed or
     accredited practitioner or provider, including occupational, behavioral,
     physical, audiology, or speech-language therapies
 11. contracted services that the program manager approves and that an LEA
     provides, including individual classes, after-school tutoring services,
     transportation, or fees or costs associated with participation in
     extracurricular activities
 12. ride fees or fares for a fee-for-service transportation provider to
     transport the scholarship student to and from a qualifying provider, not to
     exceed $750 in a given school year
 13. expenses related to extracurricular activities, field trips, educational
     supplements, and other educational experience
 14. Please keep in mind that this list is not inclusive of all allowable
     categories and expenses, and will include any other expense for a good or
     service that a parent or scholarship student incurs in the education of the
     scholarship student and the program manager approves. Details about a
     pre-approval process, where families may confirm the qualification of any
     scholarship expenses prior to purchase, are forthcoming

Examples of approved expenses can be found in the UFA Family Handbook on our
website.

What if I would like to use a school or service provider, but I don’t see their
name on the list of approved providers?

There a few options that parents have. A parent can seek pre-approval for the
expense, or make the purchase with their own funds, then submit a receipt of
purchase and request reimbursement. We also encourage families to refer schools
and providers they are engaged, or would like to be engaged with, by using a
link forthcoming on our website. By providing us some basic information, we can
contact the provider you recommend, inform them of the program and encourage
them to apply to become a qualifying provider. Information on the process of
requesting pre-approval and requesting reimbursement will be on our website.

Does my child need to take the state test?

No, it is not a requirement of the Utah Fits All Program that a student take a
standardized test. In order to maintain eligibility in UFA each year, a student
may complete and deliver to ACE Scholarships a portfolio describing the
scholarship student’s educational opportunities and achievements for the given
year.

If a student attends a private school where they are already administered a norm
referenced test, the family may submit proof that their student was administered
the test, and the requirement is fulfilled.

If a student does not attend a school where they are administered an
examination, parents may request that one of the following assessments be
administered to their child, fulfilling the requirement in lieu of the
portfolio. Optional assessments include a standards assessment, a high school
assessment, a college readiness assessment, an assessment of students in grade 3
to measure reading grade level or a nationally norm references assessment. By
completing any one of these assessments the requirement would be fulfilled, and
the portfolio would be waived.
