Apply at SonlightHomeschool funding varies by state. Common program types include Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), which give families a state-funded account to spend on education expenses; voucher programs, which pay tuition directly; scholarships and grants from private organizations; and state tax credits for education expenses. We've verified programs in Florida, Arizona, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia, and North Carolina, plus several nationwide grants.
An ESA is a state-funded account that follows the student. Parents receive funds — typically $4,000–$8,000 per student per year — that can be spent on curriculum, tutoring, therapies, educational technology, and sometimes private school tuition. States with universal ESAs include Florida (~$8,000/year), Arizona (~$7,000/year), Iowa (~$7,800/year), and West Virginia (~$4,300/year).
Yes. Several programs accept applicants from any state: the HSLDA Curriculum Grant ($300–$400/child, opens Jan/Apr/Sep), Vela Education Microgrants ($1,000–$10,000, quarterly), the HSLDA Compassion Fund ($500–$1,500, rolling), the Oorah Jewish Education Scholarship ($300–$1,500, due Sep 1), and Sonlight Compassion Curriculum (donated curriculum sets for families in need).
Often yes, depending on state rules. A private grant (like HSLDA or Vela) can usually be combined with a state ESA. You generally cannot use an ESA and a voucher for the same child in the same year. Always check each program's rules — some have income caps or residency requirements. The programs listed here are starting points; verify current rules on each provider's site.
Each state program has its own application process. Click 'Apply' on any program card to go directly to the provider's official site. Common requirements include proof of state residency, a withdrawal letter or notice of homeschooling, and (for income-based programs) documentation of household income. Some programs accept rolling applications; others have annual windows.
