Empowerment Scholarship Accounts

Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (ESAs) are state-funded programs that give parents more control over their child's education funds. Instead of traditional public school attendance, parents can use these accounts to pay for a variety of educational expenses like private school tuition, tutoring, internet, or special therapies. ESAs aim to increase choices and tailor education to each child's needs. Funds are allocated based on the student's eligibility and are managed by the parent, providing flexibility while still being part of the public education funding system.
