Carson Smith Scholarship Program
The Carson Smith Special Needs Scholarship Program (CSS) is a parent choice model for Utah
residents that provides tuition assistance for eligible special needs students enrolled in eligible
private schools. The scholarship is for students who would qualify for special education and
related services in public schools, preschool through 12th grade (3‐21 years of age), whose
parents choose an eligible private school. Together, Local Education Agencies (LEAs), CSS
eligible private schools, and parents determine special education eligibility through a process
guided by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA); the same requirements for
special education services in public schools.
