Utah Fits All
The Utah Fits All Scholarship (UFA) is a state-wide program that offers an $8,000 tax-free school-choice scholarship for K-12 students who choose to attend a private school, empowering families to choose which type of education suits their student best. Launched for the first time in the 2024/2025 school year, families across the Skaggs Catholic Center saw great success with 100% of those that applied receiving the scholarship.
But wait, there’s more! The state of Utah has already approved additional funding for the 2026/2027 school year, offering private school families an increased chance of receiving the scholarship. Do not sleep on this opportunity. Regardless of income, we highly encourage all Skaggs Catholic Center families to apply for this scholarship.
The application portal for new families applying for the 26/27 school year will open on April 1st, 2026. Here’s what you and your family can do to prepare in the meantime:
- File your 2025 taxes ASAP: The scholarship application will ask for proof of income using your federal 1040 tax form from the previous year.
- Create a Parent account: First & Last Name, Email Address, and choose a password. These are the login credentials you will use when the application portal opens.
- Gather essential documents: This includes your child’s birth certificate, proof of residency (such as a utility bill), and your 2025 1040 tax form.
