The importance of providing a high-quality education to all children is a high priority in the state of Utah. With that in mind, the state developed the Utah Fits All Scholarship Program, which provides Utah parents the freedom to choose the best education path for their child and use an education savings account (ESA) to directly pay for the school that meets their child’s needs. These funds can be used for a Holston Academy enrollment. For more information, fill out our form and someone will be in touch!
