Scholarships and Funding for Dyslexia Tutoring and Intervention

Many families are surprised to learn that financial assistance may be available for students with dyslexia and other learning differences. Across the United States, several states now offer scholarships, ESA (Education Savings Account), and school choice programs that can help cover the cost of specialized tutoring, dyslexia intervention, evaluations, and other educational services.

At Growing Through Dyslexia, we believe every child deserves access to evidence-based reading support, and we are proud to work with multiple state-funded scholarship programs to help families receive the services their children need.

What Are Dyslexia Scholarships or ESA Programs?

Scholarship and ESA programs are state-funded education programs designed to give families more flexibility in choosing educational services for their children. Depending on the state and program, funds may be used for:

• Dyslexia tutoring and intervention

• Reading therapy

• Educational evaluations

• Curriculum and instructional materials

• Private school tuition

• Specialized educational services

These programs are often designed for students with diagnosed disabilities or homeschool families.

Who May Qualify?

Eligibility varies by state and program, but students may qualify if they have:

• Dyslexia

• A diagnosed learning disability

• An IEP or 504 Plan

• Reading difficulties requiring intervention

• Enrollment in public school programs

• Enrollment in homeschool programs

• Certain academic or income-based qualifications

Some states require formal documentation, while others offer broader eligibility for families seeking alternative educational support.
