The Idaho State Board of Education has announced applications for the Empowering Parents grant will be available to Idaho families in mid-September.
Eligible parents or guardians will be able to use the funds to purchase education-related resources and services such as computer hardware and software, instructional materials, and tutoring services from the Empowering Parents online marketplace.
Students in kindergarten through 12th grade and attend Idaho public and private schools, or those who are homeschooled, are all eligible.
The program provides $1,000 per student and a maximum of $3,000 per family.
The grants will be prioritized for households with an Adjusted Gross Income at or below $60,000 per year. After the first phase of awards have been given, the limit will be increased to families with an Adjusted Gross Income up to $75,000 per year. Once the second phase is complete, and if grant funds are still available, the program will be available to all eligible students and families.
Interested parents or guardians can access the program here.
