ℹ️ Important Note: Iowa’s Students First ESA is designed for students enrolling in Iowa-accredited nonpublic (private) schools — not for independent homeschoolers purchasing curriculum directly. If you’re enrolled in an Iowa umbrella school or accredited private school, your school may be able to purchase curriculum on your behalf.
