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.
On the Utah Fits All Scholarship participating-school list (approved 2026-27 Utah Fits All private-school list, Oct 2026). That means St. Marguerite Catholic School can be paid from a Utah Fits All account once you select it in the Odyssey portal and the school confirms enrollment. Ask how tuition is billed and whether fees are included.
On Carson Smith school lists from: USBE Carson Smith eligible-school list (per each organization's published school list, Oct 2026). A child with an IEP could use a Carson Smith scholarship here instead of Utah Fits All, never both in the same year. Being on the list is not a promise of an award.
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.
Catholic schools of the diocese in Salt Lake and Tooele counties often set Skaggs Tuition Assistance after counting a family's scholarship, so ask how this school orders the two.
St. Marguerite Catholic School is a school of the Diocese of Salt Lake City. Families at diocese schools can apply for the Skaggs Tuition Assistance Program through the school office for any balance after a scholarship.

Memberships/accreditation listed by: NCEA. These come from directory listings. Utah Fits All does not require accreditation, and a membership is not always accreditation, so ask the school for its current status.
