  • Student applications for 2026-27 have closed because the program reached its statutory limit of 15,000 students. The Department's approved-provider list was last updated September 28, 2026.2
  • Families pay tutors, therapists and other providers through ClassWallet's Pay Vendor, and every Pay Vendor payment needs an invoice.3

  • Computers and tablets $1,500 each, one each every 2 years (no gaming computers). Monitors and printers $300 each every 2 years. Headsets $200 a year. Calculators $200 a year. Uniforms $500 a year. Transportation up to $3,000 a school year.4
