Learn how this powerful resource benefits students and families interested in applying at Marian University Preparatory School.
Marian University Preparatory School (MU Prep) proudly participates in New Hampshire’s Education Freedom Account (EFA) program. Through this state-funded program, eligible New Hampshire families can receive grants to help pay for MU Prep tuition and other approved educational expenses, supporting a more flexible and student-centered approach to learning.
What is New Hampshire’s Education Freedom Account Program?
New Hampshire’s Education Freedom Account (EFA) program provides families with state-funded education grants that can be used outside of the traditional public school system.
Rather than limiting how education dollars are used, the program allows eligible families to direct funding toward learning options that better match their student’s needs and goals.
Participating families typically receive an average grant of approximately $4,800. These funds can be used for private school tuition, tutoring, online learning programs, instructional materials, technology, and other approved educational expenses.
The program is designed to expand school choice and support more personalized learning pathways for students across New Hampshire.
