Providers and vendors can apply at any time to participate in the Texas Education Freedom Accounts™ (TEFA) program. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

Vendors will be able to offer educational products and services to program participants through the TEFA marketplace, including tutoring, therapy, and teaching services; courses and programs offered by public schools, charter schools, institutions of higher education, or other instructional providers; and a wide range of instructional materials and technology products. 

All vendor applications and offerings will be reviewed by Odyssey and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts to determine eligibility before appearing in the TEFA marketplace.  

Vendor applications are now open. Please apply at the link below. All provider and vendor applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Approved providers and vendors must have the right to transact business in Texas, agree to comply with program requirements, and meet other eligibility criteria.

Vendors of educational products and services previously approved by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to provide services and products through the PDSES program are approved as long as they remain in good standing with TEA and are registered to do business with the Texas Secretary of State. Beginning December 9, 2025, Odyssey extended an invitation to current PDSES vendors to enroll through a streamlined application.
