Idaho ESA Partnership Now Live!

Did you know you can use your state ESA funds to purchase OAO Field Trips? Arkansas’ Educational Freedom Accounts Understanding your ESA The general idea of state ESA programs is that parents can receive public funds in the form of scholarships or accounts to cover educational expenses beyond traditional public schools. These funds follow students to the school or program of their choice and can be used for private school tuition, online school, curricula, educational supplies, tutoring, community college costs, and more. Each state’s ESA Program is different. They offer different amounts of money at different times, and offerings are viewed through different platforms.
