Can a scholarship pay for SplashLearn?

A SplashLearn subscription is educational software, which some ESA and scholarship programs reimburse. Florida's PEP handbook, for example, lists instructional materials as an eligible category. Each program decides whether a specific subscription qualifies.

No program on Edulist lists SplashLearn yet. Save it to your wishlist and we’ll tell you when one does. Many state ESAs let families buy products like this directly; each program decides.

Questions

How does the SplashLearn free trial work?

You pick a plan and enter payment details, then get 7 days of full access. If you don't cancel before day 7, the plan you chose renews automatically. Set a calendar reminder if you're unsure.

Is SplashLearn good for homeschool?

It's a good supplement for young homeschoolers, especially for daily practice and printable worksheets. It doesn't replace a full math or phonics curriculum.
