Scholarship decisions are made using objective eligibility criteria established under the Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA) and administered through Well Planned Education’s structured review process.
Applications are evaluated based on required factors such as student eligibility, household income relative to Area Median Income (AMI) guidelines, state participation status, and available program funding. Priority registration timestamps may also be used to help sequence processing when demand is high.
All determinations are supported by platform-level verification and internal controls to ensure decisions are applied consistently and fairly across applicants.
As the program grows, Well Planned Education will continue refining its review procedures in alignment with federal guidance and best practices to maintain transparency, consistency, and program integrity.
