Tennessee State Student Funding Programs for Tuition at The Edison School
The Edison School is committed to making quality education accessible to all students. To support families with tuition costs, we participate in several Tennessee state-funded programs designed to provide financial assistance. Below is an overview of the key programs available to eligible students attending The Edison School:
Individualized Education Account (IEA) Program: This program provides funds for students with specific disabilities, as outlined in an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), to cover approved educational expenses, including tuition at participating private schools like The Edison School. Eligible families can use IEA funds to customize their child’s education to meet their unique needs. Please visit https://www.tn.gov/education/iea.html for more information.
Education Savings Account (ESA) Program: The ESA program offers financial support to students who are zoned to attend Metro Nashville Public Schools, who meet eligibility criteria, such as attending a low-performing public school or meeting income requirements. Funds can be applied toward tuition at approved private schools, including The Edison School, empowering parents to choose the best educational environment for their child. Please visit https://www.tn.gov/education/esa.html for more information.
Education Freedom Scholarship (EFS) Program: Education Freedom Scholarships will allow residents of Tennessee who have a child entitled to attend a public school in grades K-12 to use state funds toward education expenses, including tuition. Please visit https://www.tn.gov/education/efs.html for more information.
Please understand that state grant program funds cannot be combined, and even if you receive both state grant funds and Edison School Tuition Assistance, the total amount will not fully cover the tuition for the school year.
