How does the Edu Fund Partner Scholarship work in Middle Tennessee?
The Edu Fund Partner Scholarship is a private fund that supports families at participating church-run and community schools after state programs and school aid have been applied. Its terms vary by participating school, and an advisor confirms them during the funding check; no amount is promised in advance.
It matters most at small church schools in Tennessee, many of which hold Category IV approval and therefore cannot accept EFS or ESA at all.
How does a family find out whether a school participates?
Participating schools are identified during the funding check, and this site's guidance covers every public and school-based source whether or not a school participates.
Families drawn to home-based Christian education sometimes look at online programs such as American Faith Academy (AmFaith); in Tennessee, state funds can only follow a student to a provider the relevant program approves, so confirm eligibility with TDOE before enrolling.
