Bottom Line Up Front: ESA (Educational Savings Account) funding is available in select states and can significantly reduce your Alpha Anywhere costs. Currently, Alpha Anywhere supports this type of funding for Florida families only, but we are focused on expanding this as rapidly as possible to other sites with similar programs.
In Florida, this typically means around $2,500 per year out-of-pocket program costs after ESA funding is applied.
Florida ESA Funding - Detailed Information
Cost After ESA Funding: Florida families typically pay around $2,500 per year out-of-pocket after ESA funding is applied (compared to the standard $10,000 annual tuition).
ESA Amount: Florida ESA funding provides approximately $7,500 when fully leveraged, covering the majority of Alpha Anywhere costs.
Eligibility: Most Florida families qualify for ESA funding. Check with your state ESA program for specific eligibility requirements.
How ESA Funding Works with Alpha Anywhere
Important: We Don't Process ESA Funds Directly
Alpha Anywhere does not handle the approval of ESA funds directly. All ESA transactions must be processed through your state's ESA website or platform. Our payment platform will provide detailed instructions and the required documentation for you to apply for the ESA funds.
The ESA Funding Process:
Step 1: Apply for ESA Funding
Apply directly through your state's ESA program
Ensure your child is removed from public school enrollment if transitioning mid-year
Wait for approval and fund allocation
Step 2: Resolve Any Registration Issues If you encounter issues like "available funds showing as $0" - this often happens when:
Your child is still registered in the public school system
There are administrative delays in fund allocation
Solution: Contact your state ESA program directly via email or phone for faster resolution
Step 3: Enroll with Alpha Anywhere
You can begin enrollment before ESA funds are deposited
Add your credit card information to your parent portal at https://parent.alphaanywhere.co/
Purchase our program from the Marketplace and confirm your subscription
Complete enrollment and begin onboarding
Step 4: Apply ESA Funds
Once ESA funds are deposited, they will appear directly in your Alpha Anywhere parent portal
You can then apply them to your account accordingly
You can then follow the instructions in this video to allocate your funds to Alpha Anywhere.
Timing
Don't Wait: You can enroll and begin the program with a credit card while ESA funds are being processed. (You can also add ESA funds later)

Remember: ESA funding can bring your Alpha Anywhere costs down significantly. For Florida families, this typically means paying around $2,500 per year instead of the full $10,000 tuition.
