Questions Texas families ask
What is the Texas Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA)?
TEFA funds ($10,800/yr; up to $30,000 for IEP students) began disbursing July 1, 2026 via Odyssey. IMPORTANT: homeschool families are NOT eligible — enrollment in a participating private school is required. It's a universal (or near-universal) education savings account program; funds are managed through Odyssey. Approximate award: ~$10,000/yr. Confirm current eligibility and amounts at the official program site.
