Education Saving Account (ESA) Program

About the ESA Program

In spring 2019, the Tennessee General Assembly passed and signed Public Chapter 506. This law creates the Tennessee Education Savings Account (ESA) program. The ESA program allows eligible students who are zoned to attend

  • a Shelby County district school
  • a Metro Nashville public school
  • or a school that was in the Achievement School District (ASD)

to use state and local money toward education expenses, including tuition and/or fees at approved private schools.
