DeadlineThe official Wyoming Department of Education page does not state a 2026-27 family application closing date, clock time, or time zone. WDE lists quarterly disbursement timing as early September 2026, early November 2026, early February 2027, and early May 2027.

Required next actionKEEP PUBLISHED under the September 17 shared Atlas healthcare/school-health gate. WDE expressly authorizes ESA spending for educational therapies including behavioral or speech-language therapy, which is a specifically documented school-health/behavioral-health eligible-use pathway. Do not move this record to Draft merely because the broader ESA program is educational or because family outreach is blocked. New family applicant outreach remains blocked because WDE does not publish an exact 2026-27 family application cutoff date, clock time, or time zone from which the 48-hour gate can be proven. A separate provider/vendor review may continue only after product-specific eligibility, provider certification, and vendor-category fit are verified.
Broad Eligibility
Eligible recipients are Wyoming residents age 4 and in pre-kindergarten through grade 12 who are not enrolled in a public school. Pre-kindergarten applicants also must have household income at or below 250% of the federal poverty guidelines, approximately $80,375 for a family of four on the current WDE page.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 78/100. Strong current Wyoming education-funding relevance with a documented school-health pathway: WDE expressly lists educational therapies such as behavioral or speech-language therapy as allowable ESA uses. That verified therapy pathway supports publication under the Atlas healthcare/school-health scope. N9+ direct-vendor evaluation remains narrow and unverified because WDE also lists educational technology and accepts provider/vendor applications; do not position or contact until product-specific eligibility and provider certification are verified. QC Healthcare direct fit is not otherwise established. Dr. Miltie applicant fit is 0/100 because the funding recipient is the eligible student/family. No cold applicant outreach until WDE publishes a controlling exact family application deadline with at least 48 hours remaining.
The Wyoming Department of Education states that the Education Savings Account program is moving forward for the 2026-27 school year and that eligible students can receive $7,000 annually for approved education expenses.
Eligibility: Wyoming residents age 4 and in pre-kindergarten through grade 12 who are not enrolled in a public school. Pre-kindergarten applicants also must meet the program’s household-income requirement, currently stated as at or below 250% of the federal poverty guidelines.
Eligible uses: WDE lists participating-school tuition and fees, tutoring, curriculum and textbooks, educational technology, school uniforms, summer and after-school education, nongovernmental online learning, educational therapies such as behavioral or speech-language therapy, college admission and AP exam costs, and fee-based transportation to education service providers among allowable categories.
Current status: WDE states that the Wyoming Supreme Court lifted the lower-court injunction and the state is authorized to distribute ESA funds while the underlying litigation continues. WDE lists 2026-27 quarterly disbursement timing as early September 2026, early November 2026, early February 2027, and early May 2027.
Deadline control: The official WDE page does not state a 2026-27 family application closing date, clock time, or time zone. The program has a documented school-health pathway because WDE expressly allows educational therapies such as behavioral or speech-language therapy. Keep publication limited to that verified healthcare-adjacent use, and do not initiate new applicant outreach under the Wyoming AutoSend lane until a controlling exact deadline is verified with at least 48 hours remaining.
Direct-vendor note: WDE separately accepts applications from education service providers and vendors. Educational technology is listed as an allowable family expense, but product-specific eligibility, provider certification, and vendor-category fit must be verified before any N9+ positioning or outreach.
