Scholarships for Gifted Preschoolers in Utah

Certain private schools in Utah offer preschool educational programs for gifted kids and provide multiple financial aid options for their parents. Other funding sources can include national organizations that serve the needs of gifted and talented children and youth. Utah parents may also consider tax-funded gifted child programs offered by Utah public schools, which provide educational options for students after completing preschool.

  1. Utah Association for Gifted Children

    • The Utah Association of Gifted Children administers the UAGC Scholarship Fund. The association does not award scholarships directly to students, or their parents, but rather to organizations that offer programs for gifted or talented children. Organization that receive UAGC money can use funds to award scholarships to students. Recipients can only use funds to pay for fee-charging education programs. The availability of UAGC scholarship money can vary from year to year.

    Utah Public Schools
