How the money fits
When we checked the state's finder on October 12, 2026, Inspire: An Acton Academy 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 also enrolls pre-K children. TEFA pays for a 3- or 4-year-old only if the child meets a state pre-K criterion, such as lunch-program income eligibility, limited English or a parent on active duty (reservists count while ordered to active duty). Kindergarten has no such test, so an eligible child can continue here on the full award.
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.
