As another school year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to recognize the hard work, growth, and accomplishments of our incredible students and families. May is always a busy and exciting time filled with final projects, graduations, celebrations, and preparations for summer. Whether your student is finishing elementary school, moving on to a new grade, or preparing for college and beyond, we hope you take pride in all that has been achieved this year. Your dedication and support continue to make a lasting difference in your child’s educational journey. On behalf of everyone at Children First Education Fund, thank you for being part of our community. We are honored to support your students and cheer them on every step of the way. Wishing you a joyful finish to the school year, a relaxing start to summer, and many happy moments ahead!
Reminder: Scholarship Application Deadline!
Families are reminded that the CFEF Scholarship Application deadline has been extended to May 31st for the 2026–2027 school year. We strongly encourage all eligible families to complete and submit their applications before the deadline to ensure their student is considered for scholarship funding. Students may qualify to receive up to $10,000 toward tuition and educational expenses, making this an important opportunity to support your child’s academic future. Don’t wait until the last minute—submit your application today and take advantage of this valuable resource for your student’s education.
Giving Back Through Opportunity
If your family has benefited from a CFEF scholarship, we warmly invite you to consider giving back to help support other students and families on a similar educational journey. We understand firsthand the difference scholarship support can make in a child’s life, and every donation helps expand opportunities for more Utah students to access the education they deserve. No contribution is too small—when our community comes together, we can continue creating lasting impact for families across the state. Many families are surprised to learn that donating to CFEF can also provide a significant financial benefit through Utah’s 100% Utah State Tax Credit program. Qualified donations may be fully credited back on your Utah state taxes, making this a unique opportunity to support educational choice while giving directly back to a program that has helped your own student succeed. It’s a meaningful way to invest in both your child’s future and the futures of countless other students who are hoping for the same opportunity. Your generosity helps ensure that more families can experience the encouragement, support, and educational access that CFEF scholarships provide. By donating, you become part of a community committed to helping students thrive, grow, and achieve their goals. We are incredibly grateful for every family who chooses to pay it forward and help strengthen opportunities for the next generation of scholarship recipients.
