Arkansas LEARNS Act
The Arkansas Department of Education has opened up registration for Educational Freedom Account (EFA) funding. The EFA, made possible through the Arkansas LEARNS Act legislation passed in 2023, may be used by eligible families to cover private school tuition, fees, uniforms and some other required expenses. EFAs provide funding up to 90% of the state’s prior year per-student funding amount, which was $6,856 during the 2024-25 school year.
NOW OPEN Phase 3 — 2025-26 School Year (March 2025)
The LEARNS EFA application process is now open for ALL CAC students in kindergarten to 12th grade for the 2025-26 school year. Because the process is now open to all Arkansas parents who plan for their students to attend the private school of their choice, we are asking families to complete their application as soon as possible. Both families continuing to access EFA funding from last year and families new to the application process must apply using the link below.
In advance of this year’s application rollout, we have communicated with families regarding the updated process of applying for the EFA. Click the links below to access that information.
If you have questions, contact Chad Tappe at ctappe@cacmustangs.org.
LEARNS Act Communication to Families
As LEARNS EFAs are brand new to our state, we want to stay in regular communication with our families regarding all aspects of the program. Below, we will post all of our LEARNS-related communication related to using the funds to meet tuition requirements.
