How much is the ESA+ award?

The base award is $9,000 per student. Students with certain designated disabilities receive $17,000. There is no income cap for eligibility.

When is the ESA+ application window?

The priority window runs February through early March each year at the NCSEAA portal. Apply during the priority window for the best chance of receiving funding.

Do I pay anything up front?

Where Aristotle supports Direct Pay, no: your ESA pays Aristotle directly through the program portal. Other programs use reimbursement, meaning you pay first and submit documentation for approval. We will confirm which method applies before you enroll.

What paperwork does Aristotle provide?

Everything your program requires: itemized invoices with the student's name, service dates, and subjects covered. We also provide progress reports and vendor approval documentation on request.

What if I have multiple children?

Each student's ESA funds are separate, so each student requires an individual invoice. We prepare these automatically when you sign up.

How is Aristotle different from ChatGPT or a homework app?

Answer apps hand your child the solution and forget them when the chat ends. Aristotle teaches the way expert tutors do: it asks your child to explain their thinking, finds the misconception underneath a wrong answer, and guides them with questions until they solve it themselves. It remembers what your child has mastered and plans what to teach next.
