Education Service Provider ESP Handbook
The Wyoming Education Savings Account (ESA) Provider Handbook has been updated to reflect recent changes to the program. The document guides Educational Service Providers (ESPs) through the process of becoming a certified provider for the program. Interested providers can complete the ESP application at any time. Please contact [email protected] for technical assistance with the provider application. Schools (including online institutions and colleges) that will be charging tuition and fees to ESA students must email [email protected] to receive a custom registration link.
Family Handbook
The Wyoming Education Savings Account (ESA) Family Handbook is designed to help you navigate the program and understand how it can benefit your child’s education. It provides everything you need to know—from determining if your child is eligible, to applying for and managing your ESA funds, to understanding your responsibilities as an account holder. The Universal Family Application will open at 1 p.m. MDT on May 15 for all families. Families that completed the Phase One Application will receive a link via email to gain early access to the application beginning May 1.
The ESA program, established by the Wyoming Education Savings Account Act in 2024 was subsequently amended by the Steamboat Legacy Scholarship Act and signed into law on March 4, 2025. It is designed to empower families by providing them with greater educational choices for their children in pre-K through grade 12. Eligible students will receive $7,000 annually, beginning in the 2025-26 school year, for various educational expenses, including private school tuition, curriculum, tutoring, extra-curricular activities, and other approved education-related costs. All families with students in kindergarten through grade 12 qualify for these scholarships regardless of income. Families with pre-kindergarten students must have a household income at or below 250% of the federal poverty guidelines to qualify for these scholarships. All interested parties are encouraged to sign up for ESA Updates for the latest information.
