About this guide
An independent guide to Hope Scholarship Program, not an official application or an eligibility decision. Rules, application windows and available funds can change. Confirm your circumstances with the program before changing enrollment or committing money.
Before you start
Review the Hope provider requirements
The service-provider handbook describes participation and expense responsibilities. Match your organization and services to the applicable requirements rather than relying on a listing in another state's scholarship directory.
Your next steps
Submit the official provider request
Use the education service provider page for the current request form and onboarding instructions. Schools and service businesses should explain the role and offerings for which they seek participation.
Complete the requested records and agreements
Prepare business identity, service descriptions and applicable qualification evidence. Complete the program's review and participation requirements before representing the business as approved.
Follow billing and refund controls
Use the approved account-payment process and itemized charges. Follow the handbook's refund requirements; do not send scholarship refunds directly to families in a way that bypasses the program account.
Preparation checklist
Use this to get organized. The current official application or handbook controls the full requirements.
- Official Hope provider request and authorized business contact
- Offering descriptions and applicable qualification records
- Participation agreement and payment and refund procedures
Submit identity, financial, student and medical records only through the verified official process. Do not upload application documents to ParentSurf or include them in a public review.
Important distinctions
- A family's award does not establish provider approval.
- A refund must follow the scholarship's rules, not an ordinary cash-refund arrangement.
