Figures read from each program’s official pages, 2026-09-20. Sources and how to apply

What would you pay?

We filled in the standard EFS amount. Change it if your award letter says something different. An award can never be more than the school actually charges. This is arithmetic, not a quote.

Get one email when applications open

Most programs open once a year, and several ran out of money or seats in 2026. Pick your state (you are looking at Nashville) and we will email you the day the next window opens, with the official link. That is the only email you get.

One email per application window. No calls, no sharing your details.

Questions parents ask

How many private schools are there near Nashville?

We count 59 within 12 miles of downtown Nashville. Together they enrolled about 13,634 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is Lipscomb Academy with 1,298 students.

Which Nashville private schools take EFS?

Tennessee posts its registered schools as a web table that does not allow automated reading. We do not yet mark Tennessee schools as participating; confirm on the state’s list.

Will EFS cover the whole tuition bill?

Sometimes, but do not count on it. EFS pays $7,530 per student for 2026-27, and schools set their own prices. Ask each school for tuition plus fees, then use the calculator on this page to see what is left for you to pay.
