Families Share Their Stories
Join with us in celebrating and recognizing the agency of parents in
their children’s education!
This burgeoning and growing shift in popularity for education choice is a harbinger of a more dynamic, responsive, and inclusive educational landscape, and a parents’ growing inclination to explore and embrace alternative educational pathways.
Here at Utah Education Fits All we elevate the voices of families who are seeking the freedom and access to choose the best fit for their child’s education!
Our community of families volunteered to share their personal stories to demonstrate how the Utah Fits All Scholarship can and is changing the lives of children! They believe in an education where the needs of the family take center stage, allowing parents to customize options that align better with their values, expectations, and their children’s unique needs.
We invite you to read and listen to the many unique stories presented here. These heartfelt and often vulnerable accounts cut through the noise and present the realities of how life changing the opportunity of education choice can be for a child’s well-being, love of learning, confidence, and future success. The financial support of the Utah Fits All Scholarship has proven to be a game changer for the fortunate recipients; however, for the over 17,000 children waitlisted in the first year of the program, their hopes and dreams are yet to be realized. Hear their stories as well.
