Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) is a state-funded program that gives qualified Texas students funds that can be spent for authorized educational expenses. The program provides families with more freedom in selecting educational services and learning experiences that best match their children requirements.
To qualify for TEFA, a student must meet the criteria set forth by the State of Texas. Applicants generally are required to:
- Be a resident of Texas.

Meeting eligibility requirements does not ensure an award. If the number of applications exceeds the amount of available financing, priority categories specified by the state may be applied.
When the number of qualifying applications exceeds available funding, TEFA applies a state-set prioritization mechanism. Priority consideration may be provided based on such variables as:
- Special needs students.
- Levels of household income.
- Texas program guidelines specify further qualifications.
Families need to be aware of the latest TEFA requirements and funding standards at the time of application.
Required documentation may vary based on a family’s circumstances. Applicants may be asked to provide:
- Proof of Texas residency.
- Student identification information.
- Citizenship or lawful presence documentation.
- Household income verification, if applicable.
