State Funding and Scholarships

A growing number of states now fund private and online school tuition directly, through education savings accounts and scholarship programs. American Heritage Online is approved in nine of them, which means an eligible family can enroll here and have their state pay the tuition.

Below is every program we are set up for and what it pays. Once your award is approved, schedule a call and we will apply your program’s discount to your registration, so you pay nothing out of pocket.

How it works

  1. Apply to your state's program Each program has its own application, its own window, and its own rules. Start there, not with us.
  2. Get your award Your state notifies you of the amount and sets up your account in Odyssey or ClassWallet.
  3. Schedule a quick call We confirm your award, pick your courses with you, and apply your program's 100% discount to the registration, so nothing is charged to you.
  4. We invoice your program Our registrar issues an invoice for your tuition and submits it through your state's portal.
  5. Your program pays us Most states disburse quarterly. Your student starts on schedule either way.
