Create a Parent Account or Login
Navigate to the application website and create a parent account by providing: First Name, Last Name, Email Address, and Password (must be at least 8 characters).
If you already have an account, click [Sign in] and log in with your email and password. Returning households should log in to their existing Odyssey account.
Start the Application
Before you begin, carefully read the program eligibility requirements and gather necessary documents. Once ready, click [Start Application].
Step 1: Parent or Guardian Information
Provide the required information: Legal First Name, Legal Middle Name (optional), Legal Last Name, Email Address, Phone Number, Preferred Language, and Wyoming Address. Note: The last name and address may be used to verify documents — make sure the last name matches your driver's license or state ID. Click [Next] when done.
Step 2: Student Information
Provide information for each student: Legal First/Middle/Last Name, Date of Birth (student must be between 4 and 21 years old as of August 1, 2026), Grade Level, Social Security Number, and upload an Identity Document (birth certificate or passport).
If the student lives at the same address, ensure the checkbox is checked. If they live elsewhere, uncheck it and provide their address. To add another student, click [Add Another Student]. All students in a household must be on the same application. Click [Next] when done.
Step 3: Additional Information
Select your Identification Type (SSN or ITIN) and provide the number. Provide your spouse's information if applicable, or check [Not Applicable (No Spouse)]. Click [Next].
Step 4: Parent/Guardian Acknowledgments
Review and check each acknowledgment statement. All boxes must be checked to proceed. You must click on the parent contract before continuing. Type your name to electronically sign, then click [Submit].
Step 5: Verification Documents
If required, you will be asked to provide residency and/or income verification documents. Click [Verify Now] to begin. Select your document type from the dropdown, then upload via camera, file upload, or QR code on another device. You will have 3 opportunities to upload. Note: if you select a utility bill, you must upload two different bills dated within the last 90 days. Income verification (1040 form) is only required for pre-kindergarten students — ensure the AGI on line 11 is visible.
Step 6: Selecting a School
If your status is Eligible or Under Review, select the school your student will attend from the dropdown. You may select a registered school (to use ESA funds for tuition), or 'Homeschool' / 'Other School' (funds may be used for other qualified expenses only). Click [Enroll now]. Repeat for all students. Note: School selection in Odyssey is separate from official school enrollment — contact your school directly to complete enrollment.
