How the money actually flows

Education Freedom Account (EFA) is an ESA program with broad (near-universal) eligibility. Awards are base ≈$4,265–$5,200 + stackable add-ons (FRL/IEP/ELL) — secondary-sourced. Payments run through Children's Scholarship Fund NH (CSF NH), private nonprofit under state contract — NOT ClassWallet/Odyssey. Confirm the current details on the official program site before acting.

1. Confirm how the money flows. New Hampshire families use Education Freedom Account (EFA) funds through Children's Scholarship Fund NH (CSF NH), private nonprofit under state contract — NOT ClassWallet/Odyssey to pay approved schools/providers. Your job is to be set up to receive them cleanly.

2. Get your business paperwork in order. Legal entity, tax ID (EIN), and proof you are a real operating school.

3. Meet the state requirements. NH nonpublic schools must register/get State-Board approval (Ed 400): fire/health/zoning + instructional-hour minimums.

4. Apply as an approved provider. Families choose from 2,000+ providers via CSF NH's ScholaVia; new-provider onboarding steps unverified.

5. Keep clean invoicing & records. Program spending is documented and audited. Clear invoices and audit-ready records are how you get paid and stay clear.

Questions founders ask

Do you take a cut of my scholarship money?

No. You pay us once, and never a per-student cut.

Do I have to use a specific curriculum?

No. MicroschoolLaunchKit is the compliance and operations layer — use whatever curriculum or model you want. We handle the paperwork around it, not the teaching.

What exactly is ESA / voucher approval?

Many states let families use public scholarship funds for private-school tuition. Getting approved as a provider/vendor is how that money reaches your school. We walk you through it, state by state.

Do you take a cut of my tuition?

Never. You pay us once. Your tuition is 100% yours — unlike franchise networks that take a fee for every student.

Is this legal advice?

No. We give plain-language guidance and sourced requirements, not legal advice. For legal-sensitive decisions we point you to an education attorney.
