• Asking about eligibility and application timelines

🏫 Private School Funding Options (U.S.)

Federal Funding

While federal funding for private schools is more limited, schools may still be eligible for Title I, II, and IV-A under ESSA.

However, services must be arranged in consultation with the local education agency.

State-Level Funding

State-level and local opportunities present greater flexibility for private schools. Many states provide robust funding options specifically designed for non-public schools. These may include:

• State grant programs in areas like STEM, CTE, mental health, and workforce development
• Voucher or scholarship programs, such as Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), tax-credit scholarships, and tuition assistance programs
• Workforce or economic development funds accessible through state departments of labor or economic opportunity
• Partnership grants with nonprofits, education service agencies, or local industry

Because funding mechanisms differ from state to state, we recommend schools explore opportunities through:

• Their state Department of Education
• The Governor’s Office of Education or Workforce Initiatives
• Local education agencies (for equitable service eligibility)
• Regional Educational Service Agencies (RESAs or ESCs)

We recommend thoroughly investigating your state's specific programs, as funding opportunities vary widely and are frequently updated. If there is anything Flint can do to assist, please do not hesitate to reach out.
