  • $4,000 for homeschooled students ages 5-11
  • $6,000 for homeschooled students ages 12-18

Eligible expenses are broad and include:

As of 2025 legislation, extracurricular expenses are capped at 20% of the ESA value, and physical education expenses are also capped at 20%. Participants may roll over two-thirds of unspent funds each year. The program is now administered by Odyssey (as of May 2025).
