Dear UFA Parents,
We’d once again like to remind our new and returning parents of some important dates coming up. First, if you are a current UFA parent and you have not submitted your portfolio/assessment you have until May 31st! If your student has not submitted their portfolio/assessment by May 31st they will not be eligible to participate in the upcoming program year.
School Selection:
School selection/enrollment is necessary to determine funding amounts. School selection and enrollment confirmation is due on June 15th. Please note, you can only select a school that provides education for the grade level corresponding with your student’s grade level. For example, a 5th grade student cannot be enrolled in a school that only provides education for 9th-12th grade.
We have received some parent questions regarding school enrollment and would like to emphasize that funding will be determined based on confirmed student enrollment. Meaning parents must select a school and have their enrollment confirmed by the school in order to receive the private school funding amount. Schools have been instructed not to confirm the enrollment of students who do not attend their school.
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. This means that if your student is awarded the scholarship in June you will not be reimbursed for spending that occurs before July 1st. The exception to this rule 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.
Application Appeals:
If your student received an ineligible determination, you have 15 business days from the date of the decision to file an appeal. To file an appeal, first read our Utah Fits All (UFA) Scholarship Program Appeals Process and then complete the form on that page to start the process.
Reimbursement Deadline for 2025/2026:
As stated in our Reimbursement Policy, the last day to submit reimbursements for program year 2025/2026 will be May 31st. All reimbursements will be processed and finalized by June 5th. All reimbursement appeals are due by June 10th.
