If a state does not opt in for a given year, students in that state will not be eligible to receive scholarships during that program year.
Under the federal framework, each governor must annually submit a list of approved Scholarship Granting Organizations to the U.S. Treasury. If a state chooses not to participate—or delays participation—families in that state must wait until the state opts in for a future year before becoming eligible.
The good news is that participation is reviewed year to year. States may choose to join the program in a later cycle, and Well Planned Education will update families as new states opt in.
In the meantime, families are encouraged to complete priority registration so they are ready if and when their state becomes eligible.
