Texas Education Freedom Accounts — Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Texas Education Freedom Accounts?

The Texas Legislature created the education savings account program in 2025 to give families more choices in their children’s educations. The program was then officially named Texas Education Freedom Accounts. Starting in the 2026–27 school year, funds will be made available to eligible students accepted into the program that can be used for tuition, tutoring, home-school educational expenses or other approved education expenses.

Who runs the program?

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts will oversee the program to ensure funds are used properly. Odyssey was selected as the certified educational assistance organization (CEAO) that will help with administration of the program under the Comptroller’s oversight.

Who is eligible to participate?

Children are eligible to participate if they are U.S. citizens or lawfully present in the United States and are eligible to attend a Texas school district or open-enrollment charter school or pre-K program, including children of a parent who is an active-duty member of the U.S. armed forces. The parent must be a Texas resident.

What is the amount that will be available to children accepted into the program?

The amount depends on the child’s situation:

  • Private school students: State law sets the amount of the transfer at 85% of the statewide average amount of state and local funding per student in Texas public schools. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has determined the amount for the 2026–27 school year is $10,474 per child if the student attends an approved private school.
  • Students with disabilities who have an individualized education plan (IEP) on file with their school district: May receive more — up to $30,000 per year.
  • Homeschooled students: May receive up to $2,000 per year.
Can funds be used for ASU Prep Global Academy?

Yes! And if you apply as a private school student, it will cover the full tuition, plus you’ll have money left for a new laptop or private tutoring.

Will every eligible child who applies be approved?

Not necessarily. If applications exceed available funding, a lottery will decide placement. State law sets this priority order:

Year 1 (2026–27 school year):

  1. Children with a disability who are members of a household whose total annual income is at or below 500% of the Federal Poverty Level.*
  2. Children who are members of a household whose total annual income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
  3. Children who are members of a household whose total annual income is between 200% and 500% of the Federal Poverty Level.
  4. Children who are members of a household whose total annual income is at or above 500% of the Federal Poverty Level. Children who were enrolled in a Texas public school or charter school for at least 90% of the prior school year will be prioritized within this group. Funds for children in this category may not exceed 20% of the amount of money appropriated from the program fund for that school year.

Year 2 and beyond:

  1. Siblings of participating children.
  2. New eligible program applicants.
  3. Prior program participants who ceased program participation due to enrollment in a public or charter school.

*For purposes of prioritization, “children with a disability” includes both children with an IEP on file with the Texas Education Agency at the time the application process closes and children who have submitted a program-approved proof-of-disability form with their application. However, only those children with an IEP on file who are accepted into the program are eligible for the increased funding amount.

Who is eligible to submit an application on behalf of a child?

The parent of the child can submit an application. “Parent” means a resident of this state who is a natural or adoptive parent, managing or possessory conservator, legal guardian, custodian, or other person with legal authority to act on behalf of a child.

Do families need to reapply every year?

No. Participants in good standing stay in the program automatically. Families only need to confirm they want to continue.
