Accessing an Account
Upon approval, you will receive instructions for logging in to an online ESA account through the Wyoming ESA portal for each eligible child. The ESA account shall receive quarterly installments equally distributed for the student's first school year. Any funds remaining at the end of the school year will roll over to the next year as long as the student remains enrolled in the Wyoming ESA program. Families will be required to reapply annually to determine continued eligibility.
Designating a Secondary Account Holder
If the primary account holder is unable to manage the account, a secondary account holder may be designated. This request can be made at any time, and the WDE will verify that the secondary account holder meets eligibility criteria. A statement from the primary account holder transferring authority is required and must include:
Certification that the proposed secondary account holder has no criminal history involving crimes of fraud or deception.
The length of time the secondary account holder is expected to serve.
Any additional information the Agency requests.
Agency approval of a secondary account holder is contingent on that individual entering into a contract with the Agency containing the same or similar terms and conditions.
Multiple Students
If you have more than one child participating in the ESA program, you can manage all student accounts within the same household application through the ESA Portal. However, each account must remain separate and funds cannot be transferred between accounts.
Accessing Funds
Funds can only be used for qualified educational expenses. All transactions must be made electronically through the approved online portal.
Unauthorized Use
A parent may not share their username and password with an unauthorized ESA account user. Doing so may result in loss of eligibility and funding, and/or financial or criminal penalties. The Wyoming ESA program will not be responsible for changes or purchases made by anyone other than the primary account holder if login information has been shared.
