1 verified state program for Missouri homeschool families, plus 4 nationwide grants open to any state.
Missouri State Treasurer's Office
Missouri's tax-credit-funded ESA. Real and homeschool-usable, but NOT universal — most families must meet the income cap or have a prior semester of MO public-school enrollment (waived for kindergarten/1st-grade entrants); an IEP or sibling-of-recipient track skips the income test.
