If you qualify for an Educational Savings Account (ESA), we still encourage you to apply for STO funds if your income is 400% or less of the poverty rate (see chart below for income guidelines). STO funds can only be used for current year expenses. ESA funds will remain in your account and roll over from year to year until a student graduates. Therefore, you can use your ESA funds for future expenses such as high school tuition. Please be sure to have your STO application submitted by April 1st. This year’s process for applying for STO will be very similar to last year and you do need your 2023 tax information to be completed in order to file the STO application.
