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.
