state funded programs

Some states have programs which will pay for, or reimburse, homeschooling expenses such as your child’s Lotus & Ivy tuition.

Each state has different guidelines so be sure to read the policies. We have outlined the programs we know about on this page. If you live in a state not mentioned here and know about a similar program, please contact us. We are pleased to make Waldorf education more and more accessible to families across the US.

When ready, apply to your state’s program. It is recommended to apply early so that your child’s application is considered.
