There are restrictions on if/how Education Savings Accounts/Education Freedom Accounts can be stacked with ACE awards. Please see below for the state-specific requirements and restrictions.
Wyoming – Students can be awarded both the ACE Scholarship and the Wyoming ESA. If a student is awarded both, since ACE awards can only be applied to tuition, the ACE award should be applied to tuition first. Please note that families must still contribute some portion to their student’s tuition in order to be eligible to receive ACE. The ESA can be applied to more than just tuition, therefore it should be applied after the ACE award. Families can then use the remaining ESA funds towards other qualifying educational expenses. Please reach out to wysupport@acescholarships.org if you have a student who was awarded both and you have any questions about how to apply the awards.
Utah - Students can be awarded both the ACE Scholarship and the Utah Fits All Scholarship.

Please note that families must still contribute some portion to their student’s tuition in order to be eligible to receive ACE. The UFA ESA can be applied to more than just tuition, therefore it should be applied after the ACE award. Families can then use the remaining UFA funds towards other qualifying educational expenses.

Arkansas- Students can be awarded both an ACE private Scholarship and an EFA (LEARNS) scholarship.

The Arkansas EFA can be applied to more than just tuition, therefore it should be applied after the ACE award.
