The private school voucher program allows eligible families to be able to use state funds toward either private school tuition or homeschooling expenses, expanding school choice across the state. Applications are open now and will close March 17.

School vouchers, also known as school choice, have been a controversial subject in Texas education for the past four years. The program uses Texas’ state funds to help parents pay for their children’s homeschooling or private school education. Many educators on both sides of the political aisle have spoken against the program. Other politicians argue that it gives Texas children the opportunity to learn in the best quality environment.
