Education Freedom Scholarship Program
Tennessee residents may also apply for the State's additional tuition assistance program through the Education Freedom Scholarship. For this program, families do not have to meet specific income thresholds as the ESA listed above requires.
Look for the date to apply for the 2027-2028 school year in early 2027. Tennessee families must complete these application processes directly with the State of Tennessee.
