Governor Greg Abbott is celebrating Texas’ record-breaking demand for school
choice with over 100,000 Texas families submitting applications to the Texas
Education Freedom Account (TEFA) program. This marks the largest launch of a
new school choice program in the nation’s history, allowing eligible students to direct
funding toward their choice of preapproved educational providers.
On February 4, 2026, Governor Greg Abbott announced that Texas families can now apply to the Texas Education Freedom Account program.
The TEFA program is still accepting online applications through March 17, 2026.
