ESA questions we get a lot

Questions

Common questions about using ESA funds for Simply Earth.

The Science of Formulating Curriculum has a structured lesson plan, scope & sequence, lab notebooks, and assessments — meeting the criteria for instructional materials in most state ESAs. The Lesson Boxes include lab supplies, which states approve under the science lab kit category.

ESAs are direct-funded accounts families control. Tax credit scholarships are typically administered by a third-party non-profit (like Step Up For Students in Florida). Simply Earth works with both — the submission format is similar.

Drop your email on your state's pending page (or contact us directly) and we'll either apply or tell you why we haven't yet. Some states' programs don't yet cover hands-on curricula — we're working with several state administrators to change that.

It varies by state, and it depends on your state's portal. We list current timing on each state's page — check yours for the latest.

Yes — that's the norm. Most families use Simply Earth as their science line item and other vendors for math, language arts, etc. ESA portals treat each vendor separately.

Email us a copy of the denial. We'll re-issue the invoice with whatever clarification your state's reviewer needs.
