Enrollment for best fit schools available to students through EFA program applications


The Arkansas Department of Education has opened applications for the Education Freedom Account (EFA) program, which helps students attend schools that best meet their needs.




Now in its third year, the program continues to expand. Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders called it a success, saying it has helped thousands of students access schools that fit their needs. Education Secretary Jacob Oliva emphasized that families deserve school choice, regardless of ZIP code, and noted that more than 14,200 students participated in the 2024-25 school year.
