Before you apply
- Confirm whether the route is independent homeschooling, public enrollment, private-school enrollment, a charter program, or another restricted program.
- Ask the administrator what proof of residency, filing, enrollment, age, grade, disability, or income is required.
- Confirm the current award year, deadline, approved expenses, provider restrictions, and whether funds flow to the family or to the program.
- Keep receipts, approvals, and the original official instructions with the learning records you use at home.
Use the ZIP-based funding finder for a local scan, then read the official source before relying on any result. Review West Virginia homeschool requirements separately from funding eligibility.
