How Utah Fits All and Carson Smith fit
Utah Fits All pays $8,000 for a private-school student for 2026-27 at an approved school; home-based students receive $4,000 or $6,000 by age. Odyssey runs the program, and returning students, siblings and lower-income families are funded first when applications exceed the money.
We did not find Daybreak Academy on Odyssey's approved Utah Fits All Scholarship private-school list (Oct 2026). The list gives names only and is updated each spring, so ask the school whether it participates before you plan around the Utah Fits All award.
Daybreak Academy did not appear on USBE's Carson Smith eligible-school list (Oct 2026), so a Carson Smith scholarship is not an option here unless the list changes.
The school also enrolls preschoolers. Utah Fits All starts at age 5, so for younger children ask about the school's preschool aid and whether it takes the state child care subsidy.
Independent schools here set their own need-based aid, which is often the largest source after any scholarship; ask for the aid calendar early, since it may close before Utah Fits All awards are announced.
