Idaho Empowering Parents Program Qualifying Provider Application


Thank you for your interest in becoming a vendor/provider for Idaho’s Empowering Parents grant program. The State of Idaho has contracted with ClassWallet for programmatic support and to manage the distribution of grant funds to participating families. Vendors/Providers will use ClassWallet to accept payment for eligible educational services and products, and to create a profile that describes the services and/or materials they offer to Idaho’s eligible students.

Instructions:

In order to be listed as an approved vendor for Empowering Parents grant recipients, you will need to complete the following steps:


STEP 1 - Application Form: Complete the application form found on this page. Vendors must include current licensing and those whose services require direct contact with students must complete drug-free workplace and background check assurances, as applicable.


STEP 2 - Setup ClassWallet Account: If your application is approved, you will receive an email with a link to the ClassWallet website and the required next steps. Follow the instructions in that email to set up your ClassWallet account to receive ACH payments. Per Empowering Parents program guidelines, you will be required to enter a description of products and/or services provided to a student during the creation of your ClassWallet account.


If your application is found to be incomplete or is rejected, you will receive information on what is needed to complete your application or why the application was rejected.

Important:

  • All providers must directly submit a Qualifying Provider application to be considered for The Idaho Empowering Parents Program. Submissions from program participants (parents submitting on behalf of a provider) will be declined.


  • The information submitted on this application must match the information used to create your ClassWallet vendor account.

Your business name followed by your approved locations.


For example: My Favorite Tutor – Boise, Idaho Falls, Lewiston, Moscow


LOCATIONS HAVE DIFFERENT BANKING INFORMATION:

If your multiple service locations do not have the same banking information, then each individual location must apply and register as its own standalone organization, each with their own unique email address.


Fees:

ACH payments from a scholarship student’s account to a qualifying provider will be assessed a 2% ClassWallet processing fee. This fee is incurred by the provider and will not result in an additional withdrawal from the student’s account. The processing fee applies to the entire payment amount.
