Who May Qualify for ESA+?

The ESA+ Scholarship is available to eligible students with disabilities who require special education services.

As part of the application process, families must submit an Eligibility Determination issued by a North Carolina public school. This legal document confirms whether a student has a disability and is eligible for special education or related services.

An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is not required to apply, but the student must have an accepted Eligibility Determination. Families should review the current requirements and application dates on the official ESA+ website.
