Following the Wyoming Supreme Court's denial of the request to stay a Laramie County District Court injunction, the state's Education Savings Account (ESA) or Steamboat Legacy Scholarship program remains temporarily blocked. The Wyoming Department of Education, in coordination with the Wyoming Attorney General, will continue legal efforts to challenge this ruling and ensure the funds approved by the Wyoming Legislature can be used by the families counting on this program.
Additional Updates
- Continuation of ESA Program Participation: Current eligible participants in the ESA program can maintain their status while the program is under injunction.
- Program Withdrawal: If you are currently an eligible participant and plan to move from Wyoming or do not wish to continue participating in the program, please email [email protected] to un-enroll from the ESA program. Timely notification will help in efficiently managing the participant roster.
- New Applications: Wyoming students can complete this survey to show interest in future ESA Program application openings.
The ESA program was established by the Wyoming Education Savings Account Act in 2024, which was amended by the Steamboat Legacy Scholarship Act this year. The program provides eligible students to receive $7,000 annually, beginning in the 2025-26 school year, for various educational expenses, including private school tuition, curriculum, tutoring, extra-curricular activities, and other approved education-related costs.
