How the money fits
When we checked the state's finder on October 12, 2026, Covenant Classical School was listed as a TEFA participating school. That means a student with a funded account can put the $10,474 award toward tuition and required fees here. Odyssey releases each year's money in three parts: a quarter on July 1, a quarter on October 1 and the remaining half on February 1.
This school tells the state it offers special-education services or a learning-differences program. With a current IEP on file at TEA, a TEFA student's account grows: for a White Settlement ISD resident, roughly $15,788 to $16,887 in regular-campus IEP settings, never more than $30,000.
Many Tarrant County Christian schools price by church membership or offer sibling and ministry discounts, and the state's guidelines keep those in force for TEFA families. Church-run schools may also be eligible for the Edu Fund partner scholarship, which has no income limit.
