Families will be able to submit an eligible student application for Tennessee’s new Education Freedom Scholarship Program for the upcoming school year next month, the Tennessee Department of Education announced.
On May 15, at noon Central Time, the scholarship application will open for families seeking to take advantage of the 20,000 scholarships made available for the 2025-2026 school year.
The 20,000 scholarships, which will allow recipients to use state funds for private K–12 education expenses, were established by the Tennessee Education Freedom Act, which was passed earlier this year by the Tennessee General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Bill Lee.
