We understand that many students' ability to attend our Seed School may rely upon the awarding of the Utah Fits All Scholarship. We are adjusting our registration timeline to let all students know of their acceptance into Seed School before the UFA application opens so they will be able to apply for the private school funding through UFA by selecting Seed School on the application, which allows students to receive $8000 per year. 

 

Because we have limited availability in our classes, we recommend you apply to Seed School when applications open and, if accepted, register to hold your spot until scholarships have been awarded.

​

Scholarship Funding Available for Seed School:

Utah Fits All Scholarship:  The majority of our current students use this program for funding to pay their monthly tuition for Seed School. An additional $20 Million is being added for the 2026-27 school year, so please apply! Seed School students can receive $8000 per year in funding. Here are the updated deadlines for the UFA application for the 2026-27 school year:

March 1, 2026: Application Portal Opens for Renewal Students–This applies to returning scholarship students only.

April 1, 2026: Application Portal Opens for New Students

May 1, 2026: Application Portal Closes for All Applicants

• All eligible students will receive a decision from the Program Manager within 30 days of the application deadline.

• You can apply at ufascholarship.com.

• To qualify for the $8000 scholarship for private school students, you must select “Seed School” on the application. Please follow these instructions on the application:

1-Choose the school from the  “List of eligible schools” in the drop down menu on the  

   student dashboard.

2-Select “Seed School - Bear River” for ALL Seed School locations

• It is recommended by both UFA/Odyssey and Seed School that you select “Seed School” on your application even if you are unsure whether you will be attending Seed School. Should your student decide not to attend Seed School, parents can always change schools or drop down to the homeschool only award of $4000, but you cannot apply for the $8000 private school scholarship later on.

 

OpenEd or Harmony: OpenEd or Harmony is another option to help with funding tuition. These programs help pay for $2,000 of tuition. Many parents apply for OpenEd as a back up option should they not receive the UFA Scholarship. *Please note: OpenEd or Harmony cannot be paired with the UFA Scholarships. They work as either/or. Also, OpenEd and Harmony work as an either/or.

• OpenEd applications are currently being accepted for the 2026-27 school year.
