Texas families can begin applying for the state’s new Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), also known as the school voucher program, which runs through March 17th.
Here’s what families should prepare before applying:
- Valid ID and Social Security numbers for parents and children — proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful residence is also required.
- Income documentation, such as recent tax returns, because it is partially determined by household income.
- Documentation of special needs (like an IEP) if applying under that category.
- A plan for where the voucher money will go — funds are sent directly to registered schools or providers, not to families.
Families whose applications are approved can receive up to about $10,400 per student.
