What is TEFA?

Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) is the name of the school choice program that provides parents of students an opportunity to apply for a publicly funded, government-authorized savings account to pay for their children’s education at a private institution, including a Catholic school. The Texas legislature has designated $1 billion in funding for the TEFA program for the 2026-2027 school year.

For families who are eligible to apply, we strongly encourage you to apply for the Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) also. 

Children are eligible to participate if they are U.S. citizens or legal residents and are eligible to attend a Texas school district or open-enrollment charter school or Pre-K program including children of active-duty members of the U.S. armed forces.

Any Texas parent may apply for their child: “Parent” is defined as a Texas resident 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.

More TEFA Information

While the application opens at 9:00 a.m. on March 4, parents may be better off waiting a couple of days before starting the application in order to gather all documentation. This will shorten the time you are in the application site because everything will be ready. There is no benefit to being first in line because this program is a lottery based on priority groups. All people in the same priority group have an equal chance of getting funding within their group.
