ESA & Policy
The state-by-state ESA tracker.
Thirty-plus states now run Education Savings Account programs that can pay for homeschool curriculum. Eligibility, funding, and approved-vendor rules vary wildly. We track them all. No rumors, program documents only.

States where homeschool eligibility is limited
In these five states, homeschool families are excluded, restricted or no longer served by the program. Read carefully before applying.
How we track
Every state page cites the program's own handbook, the state Department of Education's FAQ, and the approved-vendor portal (ClassWallet, Step Up For Students, Odyssey, EAOs, or state-run). When a state changes a rule, we update within 48 hours of confirmation.
We do not lobby. We do not endorse or oppose school-choice legislation. We report it. If a program changes in a way that helps families, we explain. If it changes in a way that hurts them, we explain that too. Our job is to get the rules right so parents can plan.
