Enrolled NC ESA+ Provider

Education costs add up quickly. In North Carolina, the Education Student Accounts (ESA+) program and the Opportunity Scholarship can cover a significant part of those costs — tuition, curriculum, therapies, and other approved learning expenses.

The ESA+ scholarship helps North Carolina families pay for education and services for children with disabilities. The Opportunity Scholarship provides tuition support for families who meet income or other eligibility requirements.

Most parents don’t realize they qualify until they explore the options. Our role is to guide you through that discovery, explain the support available, and help you take the next steps toward applying. You’re not just choosing a school — you’re unlocking financial support to build an education that truly fits your child.

Approved families receive funds in a ClassWallet account that can be used for tuition at participating schools, curriculum, tutoring, therapies, and other approved educational services.
