When & how do I apply?

Applications open March 9, 2026

Apply at arkansasefa.com

You’ll need:

  • Your child’s birth certificate
  • Two proofs of Arkansas residency
Funds are prioritized for repeat applicants, but you do have to reapply each year. Apply early — funds are limited.

How are voucher funds submitted to ASE Academy?

Once a family is approved for EFA, they link with ASE Academy through a digital wallet system called Class Wallet. The school submits invoices for tuition. Parents use the online portal to manage payments, see balances, and select approved vendors.

What is an ACE Scholarship?

ACE is a nonprofit organization that promotes school choice. They provide private school scholarships for families who qualify, based on income level.
