What’s your TEFA gap?

One child or four. Tuition and the extras. Put your own annual costs beside an actual award or a modeled scenario. The result is arithmetic, not a recommendation or an eligibility decision.

Know what’s in the number.

Standard private-school reference: $10,474.00
Homeschool allocation, up to: $2,000.00
Eligible private-school disability TOTAL, up to: $30,000.00

Use the actual total award, not an automatic $30,000 or an extra $30,000. Qualifying private-school disability funding depends on program rules and an eligible IEP. Homeschool remains capped at $2,000.

Applicant and waitlisted families can model a scenario. An entered award is not proof of eligibility or funding. Uniforms, transport, and meals help model family costs; inclusion does not establish reimbursement eligibility.

Arithmetic: annual tuition + required fees + uniforms + transport + meals − total award. Unused allocation is not a cash refund.
