How New Hampshire EFA Works for Families Educating at Home

New Hampshire’s Education Freedom Account (EFA) program helps eligible families pay for educational expenses. Children’s Scholarship Fund New Hampshire (CSFNH) administers the program, and ClassWallet provides the digital wallet.

First Homeschool is a ClassWallet Marketplace retailer. To shop with EFA funds, enter our store through Start Shopping inside your student’s wallet. We use Marketplace checkout, not Direct Pay / Pay Vendor.

Learning at home with an EFA: families can direct their child’s education at home, but EFA students participate under RSA 194-F rather than independent home education under RSA 193-A.

What Can New Hampshire EFA Funds Cover?

Qualifying expenses include curriculum, textbooks, instructional materials, tutoring, nonpublic online learning, educational software, and qualifying technology. Other categories include private school tuition, assessments, specialized education programs, and educational therapies.

Check each purchase: materials must serve the EFA student’s education. CSFNH determines eligibility. Our store listing does not mean every item qualifies.

Review RSA 194-F:2 and the current Parent Handbook before selecting materials.

Homeschooling & Children’s Scholarship Fund NH

Choose the pathway that fits your family. Independent home education under RSA 193-A and EFA participation under RSA 194-F are separate options. Joining EFA ends the student’s RSA 193-A home education program. If your child uses public school programs, notify your resident district of EFA participation.

EFA families submit an annual Record of Educational Attainment and follow the EFA agreement. Review the Parent Handbook for renewal and assessment options.

For independent home education, consult the current RSA 193-A law. An optional declaration is required when withdrawing from public school or obtaining access to public school programs. Confirm current requirements before changing your child’s educational pathway.

Applying through CSFNH: New Hampshire resident K–12 students must meet the program’s eligibility rules, including being age five by September 30. Full-time enrollment in the resident district public school or a public charter school is excluded. Priority groups include current recipients, siblings, children with qualifying disabilities, and families at or below 350% of federal poverty guidelines. Income above that level does not by itself exclude an applicant; space may be limited.

Use ScholaVia to apply and check your application. Confirm current deadlines and documents with CSFNH.

Enter First Homeschool through Marketplace so your order stays connected to your student’s EFA wallet.

Wrong Student or Balance

Check the selected student and available funds before submitting your order.

New Hampshire EFA Frequently Asked Questions

Can my child learn at home using an EFA?

Yes. An EFA can support learning at home. Review the pathway differences and annual EFA responsibilities above before enrolling.

Who handles my application and award?

Children’s Scholarship Fund New Hampshire administers EFAs. Use ScholaVia for your application, status, and renewal.

How much funding will my child receive?

Funding depends on the student’s award, qualifying additional aid, and enrollment timing. Confirm the amount and available balance with CSFNH and your student’s wallet.

How do I find First Homeschool?

Open Marketplace / Start Shopping in ClassWallet and look for First Homeschool. If you cannot find us, contact us or ClassWallet before paying through the public storefront.

Is the Education Tax Credit Scholarship the same as EFA?

No. CSFNH also offers a separate Education Tax Credit Scholarship. Review its own application and spending guidance rather than assuming EFA rules apply.
