What UFA funds can pay for
Odyssey asks one question about every Utah Fits All expense: is the item inherently educational, or a general-purpose item that could be used for learning? Only the first qualifies.
If your service or product isn't on the list, families can't buy it with program funds, however good it is. Check before you apply.
