We handle the paperwork.
Every state's ESA portal wants something slightly different. We've helped 500+ families navigate ESA submissions across all five approved states. When you order, we send the exact invoice format your state needs — no chasing, no template-hunting.
- ✓State-specific invoice format (line items, EIN, category code)
- ✓Resubmission support if your first submission gets flagged
- ✓Help filing for the right ESA category (instructional materials vs. lab kit)
- ✓Notifications when your state's ESA portal updates its rules
ESA questions we get a lot
The Science of Formulating Curriculum has a structured lesson plan, scope & sequence, lab notebooks, and assessments — meeting the criteria for instructional materials in most state ESAs. The Lesson Boxes include lab supplies, which states approve under the science lab kit category.
ESAs are direct-funded accounts families control. Tax credit scholarships are typically administered by a third-party non-profit (like Step Up For Students in Florida). Simply Earth works with both — the submission format is similar.
Drop your email on your state's pending page (or contact us directly) and we'll either apply or tell you why we haven't yet. Some states' programs don't yet cover hands-on curricula — we're working with several state administrators to change that.
It varies by state. Arizona's ClassWallet typically processes in 7–14 days. Florida's FES-UA runs 10–15 days. West Virginia's Hope Scholarship is closer to 14 days. We list current timing on each state's page.
Yes — that's the norm. Most families use Simply Earth as their science line item and other vendors for math, language arts, etc. ESA portals treat each vendor separately.
Email us a copy of the denial. We'll re-issue the invoice with whatever clarification your state's reviewer needs. We've supported hundreds of successful resubmissions.
Find your state. Use your funds. Most families pay $0.
