During the most recent legislative session, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 2 and provided $1 billion in funding to create the Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program. The TEFA program, administered by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, will allow parents who are accepted into the program to use their child’s TEFA funds to pay for approved education-related expenses through the program marketplace.
This program is open for application to all qualified families, not just those considering school-sponsored financial assistance.
For more information on the program, qualification requirements, and application processes, please visit the Texas Comptroller’s TEFA website.
All families, regardless of income, are eligible to apply. Participation in TEFA is entirely optional, and acceptance into the TEFA program does not guarantee admission or continued enrollment at The International School of Texas. All IST admission and re-enrollment decisions remain independent of TEFA participation.
