No. Taxpayers who contribute to the program do not direct or influence scholarship awards to specific students, schools, or organizations.

Under the Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA) framework, scholarship decisions must be made using objective eligibility criteria and established program procedures. Well Planned Education administers awards through a structured review process designed to ensure fairness, consistency, and compliance.

This separation between contributors and award decisions helps protect the integrity of the program and ensures scholarships are distributed based on verified eligibility and available funding—not donor preference.
