Financial Aid
Mission of TSCS Financial Aid
We understand that sending a child to Saint Constantine is a financial investment. We also believe finances should not stand in the way of a quality education. Providing financial aid to as many families as possible remains one of our highest priorities and our greatest challenges.

Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA)
In 2025, the Texas Legislature created the Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program to expand educational opportunities for families across the state.
Eligible families applied and received state funds to be used for the 2026-27 school year:
-
Private school tuition
-
Educational expenses for homeschoolers
-
Tutoring and instructional services
-
Curriculum and materials
-
Career and technical education programs
The program is administered by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, with Odyssey serving as the certified educational assistance organization. Through Odyssey’s online parent portal, families apply, search for eligible schools and service providers, and manage approved expenses.
Families that were not able to apply this year but are interested in applying for the 2027-28 school year can indicate early interest on this form. This information will be useful as the Texas Legislature next session contemplates increasing funding for the TEFA program. Students who are currently on the waitlist as well as those who did not apply at all this year should complete this form.
ACE Scholarships
The Saint Constantine School is proud to partner with ACE Scholarships to help provide generous financial aid packages to families in need. We encourage families who qualify to apply for ACE scholarships. To learn more, please visit the ACE website.
Due to its unique funding model, ACE requires families to apply for scholarships directly through ACE, while the scholarship funds are awarded directly to the partnering school.
ACE scholarship decisions do not follow the same timeline as the TSCS’s Financial Aid process. TSCS provides financial aid decisions in the spring well before ACE award funding is known. If a family is awarded an ACE scholarship, TSCS applies those ACE funds toward the financial aid package the family has already been awarded.
In other words, a family’s total financial aid package from TSCS will include any ACE scholarship funds they receive. However, a family’s TSCS financial aid award will not be reduced if they do not receive an ACE scholarship.
