At Mustard Seed Academy, we believe every child deserves access to a high-quality, nurturing education — and the Utah Fits All Scholarship is an incredible opportunity to help make that possible for families.
What is the Utah Fits All Scholarship?
The Utah Fits All Scholarship is a state-funded program that provides families with up to $8,000 per year per child to use toward educational expenses.
This funding can be used for things like:
Private school tuition
Curriculum and educational materials
Tutoring and enrichment programs
Educational services and resources
At Mustard Seed Academy, this means your child’s tuition may be partially or even fully covered depending on your scholarship award.
Who can apply?
Great news — this scholarship is open to ALL Utah K–12 students, regardless of their current school setting.
That includes students who are:
Currently in public school
Already attending private school
Homeschooled
Entering kindergarten
Your child does not need to already be enrolled at Mustard Seed Academy to apply.
How the application works
The application opens once per year and follows this general timeline:
April 1 → Applications open for new students
April 30 → Application deadline
Decisions are typically made within 30 days after the deadline
Because demand is high, scholarships may be awarded through a lottery system, with priority given to certain families.
Important to know
If awarded, families will receive funds through an Education Savings Account (ESA)
These funds are used specifically for approved educational expenses
Students receiving the scholarship will not be enrolled in a public school at the same time
How this helps your family
The Utah Fits All Scholarship can significantly reduce — or even eliminate — the cost of tuition at Mustard Seed Academy.
This gives families the opportunity to choose:
Smaller class sizes
A personalized, play-based learning environment
A school that truly focuses on the whole child

The Carson Smith Scholarship is a Utah state program that provides financial assistance to students with qualifying special needs, allowing families to access private school options that may better support their child’s learning.
Students must meet eligibility requirements, which typically include having an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or qualifying disability under state guidelines.
