This article is intended for Iowa parents intending to apply for the Iowa 2024-2025 Students First ESA who had a previous active account for the year 2023-2024
Parents will not need to create a new account if the parent's previous 2023-2024 account is still active. In other words, if the previous account created remains open regardless of eligibility status.
However, it's important to note that all individuals must fill out a new application within this existing account for the 2024-2025 period. Additionally, everyone will undergo a verification process* for the new ESA application year.
*Please note application information will only be viewed by parties necessary to complete the application verification and approval process, which includes Odyssey, the Iowa Department of Education and the Iowa Department of Revenue.
