Will EISTC cover the whole tuition bill?
Sometimes, but do not count on it. EISTC pays up to the state share of per-pupil public school funding where you live, 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.
