The Arkansas Children’s Educational Freedom Account (EFA) Program provides flexible funding to families who find that a traditional public school does not meet their student’s specific educational needs. Families who choose to participate in this program will have 90% of their child’s state education funding deposited in an online Educational Freedom Account. State educational funding amounts vary each year. Parents can then use that funding to pay for approved school expenses, such as tuition at an eligible private school. ACCESS Academy is approved as an eligible private school for this program. Learn more about who qualifies for this program via The Reform Alliance.
Additional tuition assistance may be available to ACCESS Academy students after all other funding sources have been exhausted. Available funding varies each year based on contributions and the number of applications received. All awards are granted based on financial needs and are only applicable for the designated year awarded. Contact an Admissions Specialist to inquire about Tuition Assistance.
