A TKA Education May Be More Accessible Than You Think.
More Choice for Tennessee Families.
The Tennessee Education Freedom Scholarship Program allows eligible Tennessee students in grades K–12 to use state education funds toward tuition and other approved educational expenses while enrolled at a participating non-public school.
For families considering The King's Academy, EFS may significantly reduce the financial cost of choosing a Christ-centered education.
Eligibility, scholarship awards, funding, and program requirements are determined by the Tennessee Department of Education.
How EFS Works at The King's Academy
EFS and TKA admission are two separate processes. Families complete both before scholarship funds can be applied to a student's TKA account.
Apply Through Tennessee
Families apply directly to the Tennessee Department of Education during the state's announced EFS application period.
Complete TKA Admission
Submit a separate application to The King's Academy and complete TKA's normal admission process.
Confirm Enrollment
Students receiving EFS must be enrolled at a participating school before scholarship funds can be used for eligible expenses.
Apply Funds to Tuition
Once the award and enrollment are confirmed, eligible EFS funds may be applied according to Tennessee program guidelines.
A scholarship can change what is possible for your family.
For eligible students, EFS can significantly reduce the cost of attending The King's Academy. Families can invest in a school community where students are Known. Loved. Equipped.
