Applications accepted for education savings accounts

The treasurer’s office late Wednesday posted early enrollment applications on its website for the accounts, which will offer about $5,000 per student to be homeschooled or attend a private school. Students must attend a Nevada public school for 100 consecutive days to be eligible for the program.

Applications for children under the age of 7 will be placed in a pending status with a review planned after the treasurer’s office issues final regulations for the accounts.

The treasurer’s office expects to issue funding during the first week of April, according to its website.
