How the money fits
Jesuit College Preparatory High School was listed as a participating school in the state's TEFA finder on October 12, 2026. That means a student with an Education Freedom Account can put the 2026-27 award of $10,474 toward tuition here. The state pays the school directly through Odyssey: a quarter on July 1, another quarter on October 1, and the remaining half on February 1.
Most Catholic schools in the Diocese of Dallas were in the TEFA finder when we checked, and the diocese employs a TEFA liaison to help families apply. At diocesan schools, need-based aid comes from the Catholic Schools Office Tuition Assistance Program through FACTS; independent Catholic schools such as Jesuit, Ursuline and Cistercian run their own aid. Parishioner and sibling rates keep applying for TEFA families. Catholic schools in Denton County are part of the Diocese of Fort Worth.

What to ask the school
- Will you be in TEFA for 2027-28, and how do you handle a family that's awarded after the school year starts?
- Which of your fees (registration, books, technology, uniforms, lunch) can be billed to the account?
- What need-based aid, sibling rate or church or parish pricing applies to the balance?
- Do you serve students with an IEP or a learning difference, and what support is included in tuition?
- Which dual-credit partners do you use, and can those course fees come from the account?
