Overview
The Iowa Students First Education Savings Account (ESA) program was established by the Iowa Students First Act (House File 68), which was enacted in 2023. The program provides state-funded accounts for eligible students to pay for private school tuition and other qualified education expenses such as tutoring and educational therapies. It is one of America's most generous universal ESA programs, designed to eliminate income limits and special needs requirements to ensure that all Iowa residents in grades K-12 have access to education freedom.
