State Empowering Parent Grant Applications Now Being Accepted

The Idaho State Board of Education announced recently that applications for the next round of Empowering Parents grants are now being accepted.

Empowering Parents provides eligible families with grants for eligible education services and devices to help students recover from learning loss. Each eligible family will have access to $1,000 per eligible student, with a maximum award of $3,000 per family.

Idaho residents who filed a 2023 Idaho tax return and who have children between the ages of five and 18 are eligible to apply. Awards are prioritized first for households with an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) less than $60,000, second to households with an AGI under $75,000, and any remaining grants will be awarded on a first come first served basis.

Awardees will be able to use the grant funds to purchase education-related products and services from the Empowering Parents online marketplace such as computer hardware and software, instructional materials, and tutoring services.
