Q: Can I use my West Virginia ESA for Wizkoo?

Wizkoo is not yet listed on TheoPay (West Virginia's state-specific platform). We're working on it. Families in states that allow direct reimbursement for educational software may be able to submit a receipt for Wizkoo. Check with the West Virginia Treasurer's Office before purchasing.

At $5,267/year, your ESA covers curriculum, tutoring, testing, and more. Wizkoo is $499/year — one line item, not the whole budget.
