The 2024-25 Empowering Parents program grant applications are now open! Applications will close when funding is exhausted, so we’re hoping families apply right away. To apply, visit https://empoweringparents.idaho.gov/
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, school athletic fees, driver’s education, tutoring or speech therapy – and more!
