What would you pay?
Tuition and fees TEFA pays You pay per year Spread over 10 months
We filled in the standard TEFA amount. Change it if your award letter says something different. An award can never be more than the school actually charges. This is arithmetic, not a quote.
Get one email when applications open
Most programs open once a year, and several ran out of money or seats in 2026. Pick your state (you are looking at San Antonio) and we will email you the day the next window opens, with the official link. That is the only email you get.

Questions parents ask
How many private schools are there near San Antonio?
We count 77 within 12 miles of downtown San Antonio. Together they enrolled about 16,119 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is Cornerstone Christian Schools with 2,098 students.
Which San Antonio private schools take TEFA?
Texas shows approved schools only through its Vendor Finder; there is no downloadable list. Rather than guess, we do not mark Texas schools as participating. Check the official finder, then ask the school.
Will TEFA cover the whole tuition bill?
Sometimes, but do not count on it. TEFA pays about $10,000 per student, and schools set their own prices. Ask each school for tuition plus fees, then use the calculator on this page to see what is left for you to pay.
