Questions parents ask
How many private schools are there near Salt Lake City?
We count 51 within 12 miles of downtown Salt Lake City. Together they enrolled about 5,979 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is Rowland Hall with 917 students.
Which Salt Lake City private schools take UFA?
Utah does not publish a list of participating schools outside the program’s own marketplace. Ask the school.
Will UFA cover the whole tuition bill?
Sometimes, but do not count on it. UFA pays up to $8,000 for private school students, and schools set their own prices. Ask each school for tuition plus fees, then use the calculator on this page to see what is left for you to pay.
