There are a few ways to maximize your scholarship funds by paying private school tuition.
If the private school is not an approved qualifying provider: The scholarship family must pay tuition out of pocket, and may seek reimbursement through the ClassWallet platform. The receipt must include the following components: full legal name of the scholarship student, name of the private school, tuition amount paid, date of payment, itemized list of scholarship expenses and a description of item being paid (for example, full year tuition 2024-25 school year; OR tuition for fall semester, 2024-25 school year, etc.)
A scholarship parent will log into ClassWallet using the link found on their ACE Access portal and toggle to the student for whom they are making the payment. They will then select, "start a reimbursement" from the student dashboard. *PLEASE NOTE: you will not be able to initiate a reimbursement if you have not linked a personal bank account. You must complete this step prior to requesting reimbursement. The scholarship parent will be asked to enter the total receipt amount and upload the corresponding document. They will then select the UFA "purse" an the category of the expense, "tuition and fees." Finally, they may review and submit.

If the private school is an approved qualifying provider: The scholarship family must receive an invoice for tuition payment from the private school. The invoice must include the following components: full legal name of the scholarship student, name of the private school, date of invoice, payment due date, an itemized list of scholarship expenses and a description of item(s) being invoiced (for example, full year tuition 2024-25 school year; OR tuition for fall semester, 2024-25 school year, etc.)
A scholarship parent will log into ClassWallet using the link found on their ACE Access portal and toggle to the student for whom they are making the payment. They will then select, "pay vendor" from the student dashboard and type the name of the private school they would like to initiate a payment to. Once the school is selected, the scholarship parent will be asked to enter the total invoice amount and upload the corresponding document. They will then select the UFA "purse" an the category of the expense, "tuition and fees." Finally, they may review and submit.
