Yes. State participation in the ECCA program is reviewed annually.

Each year, governors have the opportunity to opt their state into the program by submitting approved Scholarship Granting Organizations to the U.S. Treasury. As a result, a state’s participation status may change from year to year.

Well Planned Education will continue to monitor state activity and provide updates so families, schools, and vendors can stay informed about their state’s current status.
