How the money fits
When we checked the state's finder on October 12, 2026, Hill School of Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth ISD resident, roughly $15,712 to $16,794 in regular-campus IEP settings, never more than $30,000.
An independent school decides its own need-based aid. It may factor in a family's TEFA award, but it may not charge that family a higher tuition than anyone else.
