  • Applications for 2025-26 Empowering Parents program grants will not occur as the State Legislature has chosen to eliminate the program.
  • Recipients of Empowering Parents grants in previous years have three (3) years from the date grants were issued to spend grant funds on the ClassWallet online marketplace. 
  • Parents can see the exact date their grant expires by logging into their ClassWallet account.
    • Grants issued in 2023 will expire in 2026.
    • Grants issued in 2024 will expire in 2027.
    • Grants issued in 2025 will expire in 2028.
