The purpose of the Expense List is to give parents confidence that items on the list are considered approved expenses before making a purchase.
The Expense List is not meant to be exhaustive and will grow and evolve as the Utah Fits All Scholarship Program grows and evolves.
Price limitations:
You'll notice that there are no listed price-related limitations or restrictions on this expense list. ACE's decision against listing price caps is meant to allow families the flexibility to purchase the educational items they need while exercising reason.
At times, pre-approval may be required for some expenses:
Some expenses require pre-approval. ACE will use the Pre-Approval Process to issue determinations and may consult with the
Expense Advisory Committee. ACE may ask for a justification for an item or service and the educational benefit it provides to the scholarship student. All purchases are only approved for use by scholarship student.
Trips, passes, tickets and memberships:
All expenses related to trips, passes, tickets and memberships must be primarily educational. Family memberships or family season passes will not be approved. A membership or day pass for a scholarship student and membership or day pass for one chaperone will be approved per family. Visit our help center article on this subject here.
Don’t see an expense on the Expense List?
Educational expenses not featured on the Expense List may still be approved by submitting a Request for Pre-Approval Form through the pre-approval process. If approved, the parent will be notified via email. See how the process works here.
PLEASE NOTE: Approval for an item or service for one scholarship student does not guarantee that the item or service will be approved for all scholarship students. ACE acknowledges that every student is unique and may have different circumstances that impact the justification of an item or service.
