UFA Update from Odyssey - 06/05/2026

End-of-year update covering reimbursement window closure, amended reimbursement decision timeline, school selection deadline, and spending rules for the upcoming 2026-27 program year.

It is almost time for awards to be issued! If you have not already done so, please make your school selection. For our currently enrolled students, we have some important updates.

Reimbursements

Reimbursement submissions for the 2025/2026 program year have closed. In the last four days of the reimbursement window, Odyssey received over 10,000 reimbursement submissions.

Due to this high volume, Odyssey is amending previously issued guidance: Reimbursement decisions will be finalized by June 15th. All reimbursement appeals will now be due by June 19th. It is important that if you need to appeal a reimbursement, you do so as soon as possible. Odyssey needs to close out all reimbursements by June 30th in order to facilitate the rollover of funds.

The marketplace will remain open until June 30th. After June 30th, any remaining funds will be rolled over at a 2/3rds rate (capped at $2,000). These rollover funds will be available when funding is issued in July for the next program year.

School Selection

School selection and enrollment confirmation is due on June 15th. Funding will be determined based on confirmed student enrollment. Parents must select a school and have their enrollment confirmed by the school in order to receive the private school funding amount.

Spending 2026/2027 Funds

Awards will begin being issued on June 16th, but spending for the 2026/2027 program year does not begin until July 1st. If your student is awarded the scholarship in June, you will not be reimbursed for spending that occurs before July 1st. The exception is tuition: if you paid a deposit, enrollment fee, or tuition before July 1st to secure your student's spot for the 2026/2027 school year, you may submit that expense for reimbursement once funding has been issued.
