empowering parents

The 2024-25 Empowering Parents program grant applications are open.   Applications will close when funding is exhausted, so we’re hoping families apply right away!

As a reminder,  parents of Idaho students ages 5-18 who filed a 2023 Idaho tax return are eligible.  Families with adjusted gross incomes (AGI) of under 60k receive priority. Grants are $1,000 per student and up to $3,000 per family.  The grant funds can be used for a huge range of items to support student learning – including laptops or technology, extracurricular classes, camps,  and school athletic fees, driver’s education, tutoring or speech therapy – and more!

 The application guide is available in English and Spanish and phone customer service agents are also bilingual.
