Children’s First Education Fund
The 2024 Utah State Legislature passed a bill merging the Special Needs Opportunity Scholarship program with the Carson Smith Scholarship program. Children First Education Fund (CFEF) will administer the new combined program. Scholarships are available for children in preschool, kindergarten, and grades 1-12, and may be used for private school tuition, books, supplies, and education-related therapies or treatments. Scholarships are generally awarded for a term of three years and may be renewed in 3-year increments, so long as the student continues to demonstrate eligibility. More information may be found at the CFEF website

Standard ACE award amounts are $3,000 for K-8 and $4,000 for high school, and no greater than 50% of private school tuition, yet may vary dependent upon unique circumstances.
