Texas Education Savings Account (ESA)

Under this new expansive program, Texas’s ESA program would provide different levels of education funding based on the education setting, including:

• About $10,000 per year for students attending accredited private schools
• Up to $30,000 per year for students with disabilities attending accredited private schools
• Up to $2,000 per year for homeschooled students to use toward educational expenses

Texas’s ESA program will be open to all PreK-12 students in the state including students currently enrolled in a public school, pre-k students enrolled in a public program, students currently enrolled in a private school, and homeschooled students. Eligibility to apply to the program is universal, but there is a limit on the overall funding for the program for the initial two year period.

Families who are currently homeschooling have the option to participate in the ESA program while continuing to educate their children at home. Although their daily homeschooling experience may not differ significantly from traditional methods, they will have to take a nationally norm referenced test and agree to have those results shared with the certified educational assistance provider that helped them through the application process for the program. However, those scores will remain confidential. Participation in the program is not required for any homeschooler; families can choose whether or not to take part.

Texas’s Education Savings Account Program will be available for the 2026-2027 school year.
