Thank you for your interest in becoming a provider for South Carolina's Education Scholarship Trust Fund Program (ESTF). The South Carolina Department of Education administers the ESTF and has contracted with ClassWallet for programmatic support and to manage the distribution of scholarship funds to participating families.
Participating families will make payments and purchases to education service providers through the ClassWallet platform. All providers must be approved to participate by the South Carolina Department of Education.

U.S. tax regulations and banking institution restrictions require that all vendors operating within the United States provide a W-9 form, which includes a U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). Completion of this form without an associated TIN will prevent approval of your application. International vendors who do not include or are unable to provide a valid U.S. TIN will not be approved.
Update: On September 11, 2024, the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled that sections of South Carolina’s Education Scholarship Trust Fund (ESTF) program are unconstitutional.
Pursuant to this ruling, and as of September 11, 2024, ESTF funds may no longer be used for tuition or fee payments to nonpublic schools.
