ESA (Education Savings Accounts)

A reminder that applications for Iowa's Students First Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) are open. If you haven't already done so, I encourage you to apply. Even if you're not sure if you'll qualify, the application is fairly easy so it doesn't hurt to go through the application process and see!

Deadline for applying is June 30th. Even if your student qualified last year, a new application is REQUIRED again this year!

The Department’s ESA web page has been updated for the 2024-25 school year and should have the information to answer any questions you may have. 

Contact Brenda Wichhart with questions!
