Private schools are not required to complete a separate pre-approval process to support eligible students. However, schools that wish to actively coordinate scholarship-supported purchases are encouraged to register with Well Planned Education.

Registration allows schools to designate appropriate staff, access the marketplace tools, and receive program guidance. The process is designed to be straightforward and aligned with federal compliance requirements.

Participation remains voluntary, and schools may choose their level of involvement based on what best serves their students and community.
