Mountain Point Academy participates in Utah’s state scholarship programs, and Utah Fits All Scholarship funding can be applied toward tuition here. We’re a Cognia-accredited online private school for grades 6 through 12, built around self-paced coursework, certified teachers, and a dedicated Academic Mentor who meets with every student weekly.
Utah Fits All is a state-funded scholarship that Utah K-12 families can direct toward approved education expenses instead of attending an assigned public school. Odyssey has managed the program since May 2025, handling applications, awards, approved expenses, and reimbursements.

Approved expense categories are set by the administrator and by state law. Each carries its own documentation requirements.
| Category | Typically covers |
|---|---|
| Tuition | Charges from an approved school |
| Tutoring and test prep | Instruction supporting the student’s course plan |
| Curriculum and materials | Textbooks, course licenses, approved workbooks |
| Technology | Devices required for coursework, with limits |
| Extracurricular and PE | Allowed, capped as a share of the award |
Confirm current categories, caps, and carry-forward rules with the administrator before you assume anything. These change by legislative session.
We participate in Utah’s state scholarship programs, and families apply scholarship funding toward tuition here. Approved-provider mechanics are set by the administrator and re-decided every scholarship year, so we confirm the exact routing for your award on your consultation call rather than guessing at it on a web page.
One thing we don’t do: complete or submit your scholarship application. Utah law restricts what a provider can do there, and any school offering to run your application for you is worth a second look. What we can do is make sure everything on our side is ready when you need it.
Six programs, and most families need one or two. Your consultation sorts out which.
| Program | Grades | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Online middle school | 6-8 | Building confidence and independence |
| Online high school diploma | 9-12 | Working toward an accredited diploma |
| Credit recovery | 6-12 | Closing credit gaps without repeating a whole course |
| Test prep | 9-12 | ACT, SAT, GED, and ACCUPLACER, one-on-one |
| Experiential learning credit | 9-12 | Elective credit for work, volunteering, athletics, or travel |
| RTC and group partnerships | 6-12 | Academic continuity through a placement |
Students in foster care, residential programs, and group homes remain eligible for the Utah Fits All Scholarship and can direct funds to an accredited provider. This is one of the situations we’re built for.
When a student enters or leaves a placement, school is usually the thing that slips. Records get stranded at the old school, credits go uncounted, and a student who was doing fine academically loses half a year for reasons that have nothing to do with their ability.
Everything is online, self-paced, and available 24/7. A placement change doesn’t restart the academic year. Courses, progress, and mentor stay put.
We chase down transcripts and prior coursework so earned credits actually count, and keep documentation current for whoever comes next.
A lighter load during a hard stretch, more speed later. The Academic Mentor adjusts the plan instead of letting a student stall.
We work with facility education staff, guardians, and caseworkers on enrollment paperwork and progress reporting.
We work with existing IEP and 504 documentation as part of placement and planning.
The scholarship and district enrollment can’t run at the same time.
| The rule | Students must not be enrolled with a public school district when funds are awarded |
| The risk | Cross-enrollment can remove a student from the program entirely |
| Common mistake | Keeping a seat at the old school, or one class, just in case |
| What to do | Settle enrollment status before you accept, not after |
Every application asks you to apply as either a private-school student or a home-based student. Neither is better. They lead to different mechanics, and picking the wrong one creates paperwork problems later.
| Your setup | Likely classification |
|---|---|
| One school, full-time, most instruction in one place | Private-school student |
| Courses, credit recovery, or test prep alongside other learning | Home-based student |

Grades 6 through 12. The scholarship covers K-12 students, and we serve grades 6 through 12 plus adult learners. Adult diploma students aren't eligible for this K-12 scholarship and should ask us about other payment options.
No. Students must not be enrolled with a public school district when funds are awarded, and cross-enrollment can result in removal from the program. Resolve enrollment status before accepting an award.
It depends on where your student receives most of their academic instruction. One full-time school points toward private school. A mix of courses, tutoring, and materials points toward home-based. Confirm current definitions with the administrator.
Yes. Students in foster care, residential programs, and group homes remain eligible and can direct funds to an accredited provider. We handle enrollment, records, and progress reporting so academics continue through the placement.
Applications open in the spring on a fixed schedule, returning students first and new students shortly after. Windows close well before the school year starts. Check the administrator's published calendar for current dates.
