How to become an UFA vendor in Utah

Utah's scholarship program, administered by Odyssey. Providers apply once, then every offering is reviewed. Families can also be reimbursed for eligible purchases, so your receipts matter.

Who can apply

  • Providers who were approved under the previous administrator had to reapply with Odyssey. Both the provider and each offering are reviewed for compliance.1
  • You'll need a federal tax ID (EIN), your address and contact details, and a description of what you'll offer scholarship students.1
  • A homeschool parent can be a provider for other UFA students but can't be paid to teach their own child. A private-school owner can't use their child's scholarship at their own school.2
  • Parent co-ops can be providers only with an EIN and only if they aren't run by a parent (or relative) of a home-based scholarship student they serve.3

Documents by provider type

Product sellers

  • A valid business license, plus Articles of Incorporation or Organization and/or an IRS document.4

Service providers (tutors, therapists, instructors)

  • A valid business license, Articles of Incorporation or Organization and/or an IRS document, and your professional license numbers and documents.4

Getting approved and listed

  • Each program needs its own application and its own vendor portal. Odyssey says you'll hear back on an application within 2 to 4 weeks.5
  • Every offering is reviewed separately. Use a specific title ("6-Week Middle School Math Tutoring", not "Tutoring") and list sessions, length, delivery method and credentials in the description.6
  • Prices must sit within a reasonable margin of the blended market price. Build shipping into the listed price; tax is added at checkout.7
  • Marketplace purchases can't be cancelled by families. Service orders are cancelled only if the vendor authorizes it.8

How you get paid

  1. 1Approved vendors are paid by ACH through Stripe. Connect a Stripe account under Payment Set Up in the vendor portal before your first order.9
  2. 2When a family orders, confirm (or cancel) the order in the vendor portal. After confirming, contact the family within 48 hours.10
  3. 3Payment runs on net-30 terms, and the 30 days don't start until you enter a tracking number (products) or a receipt or confirmation number (services). If your system doesn't generate one, Odyssey says to enter the date and time you delivered the service.11
  4. 4Don't send families invoices or receipts for Marketplace orders. Odyssey records every transaction and says invoice, receipt and tracking numbers are managed only in the vendor portal.9
  5. 5Odyssey doesn't issue vendors a 1099. Keep your own records of Marketplace income.12
Work out when an order will pay

Price caps and purchase limits

  • Laptops, tablets and desktops are capped at $1,500 (one of the three per student every 3 years); monitors and cameras at $500; headphones at $200; transportation at $750. After-school extracurriculars and PE are each limited to 20% of the scholarship. Listings above a cap must be lowered before approval.13

When families pay you directly

  • UFA families can request reimbursement for eligible purchases. Your receipt has to show vendor details, the transaction date, itemized prices, the total, the payment method and proof of payment.14
Check a receipt before it's submitted
