Families can take a few simple steps now to be fully prepared when scholarship applications open in January 2027.
First, complete priority registration with Well Planned Education. Registrations are time-stamped and help ensure your student is ready for review as soon as applications become available.
Second, confirm whether your state is participating or monitor its status. Eligibility depends in part on state opt-in, and being informed early helps families act quickly when their state becomes active.
Third, begin gathering basic documentation such as income verification and student information so the application process is smooth when the window opens.
Finally, families play an important role in helping expand awareness of this new opportunity. Because the program is funded through taxpayer participation, increased awareness helps strengthen the funding pool and expand the number of students who can be served.
Taking these early steps positions your family—and your community—for the strongest possible benefit when scholarships become available.
