Yes — Curriculum & resource sellers can be paid with Wyoming ESA funds
Wyoming’s Wyoming Education Savings Account Program (ESA) lets families spend public funds with approved vendors. As a curriculum or resource business, you register as a vendor / service provider, get approved, and receive funds through Odyssey. Wyoming's brand-new $7,000 universal ESA is paid through Odyssey as it ramps for 2025-2026 — register early to get on the approved-vendor list before families start spending.
How to register as a curriculum or resource business vendor
- Determine your provider category (tuition-charging schools email wde-esa@wyo.gov for a custom link; other providers apply directly in the ESA portal).
- Complete the Education Service Provider application with provider info, licenses/certifications and a service description.
- Agree to the program assurances; provisional status lets you start serving immediately.
- Pass a WDE certification review within the first year (goods-only vendors are exempt); file a surety bond if expecting over $150,000/yr in ESA funds.
Do Curriculum & resource sellers need to be an approved ESA vendor in Wyoming?
Yes. A curriculum or resource business can’t be paid with Wyoming Education Savings Account Program funds until it’s an approved vendor / service provider and is set up on Odyssey. Families can only spend their account on vendors the program has cleared, so registration is the gate between you and the money. The good news: once you’re approved you’re visible to every family in the program looking for a curriculum or resource business.
What you can bill Wyoming Education Savings Account Program for
As a curriculum or resource business in Wyoming, the approved spending categories you’ll typically invoice against are:
- Tuition & fees at a qualified school
- Tutoring & educational therapies
- Curriculum, textbooks & technology
- Online & summer/after-school programs
- Dual enrollment, CTE & testing fees
- Transportation & uniforms
Whatever the category, the line items on your invoice must name the educational subject (e.g. “Grade 4 mathematics”, not just “tutoring”) — a vague description is the single most common reason a curriculum or resource business’s invoice is returned.
How much can a curriculum or resource business earn from Wyoming ESA?
Wyoming families receive $7,000/student (deposited in equal quarterly installments), and launching 2025-2026 (after 2025 litigation; injunction lifted). You’re paid per service you deliver and invoice — there’s no platform cap on how many families a curriculum or resource business can serve, so your ceiling is how many students you take and how cleanly your invoices clear Odyssey.
How a curriculum or resource business gets paid through Odyssey
Odyssey acts as the program manager and marketplace — you list services and it deposits funds into your business bank account.
