Important ESA+ Program Information
The priority application period for new ESA+ applicants for the 2026–2027 school year has closed, and the ESA+ program is no longer accepting new student applications for this funding cycle.
This page is intended primarily for families who currently hold an active ESA+ award and are seeking approved educational services and supports for their child.
If your student has already been awarded ESA+ funding, The XyayX Institute may be able to provide eligible educational services, specialized instruction, academic support, and related educational programming through our approved provider status.
Families with active ESA+ awards are encouraged to contact our admissions and student support team to discuss available services, program options, enrollment opportunities, and the development of an individualized support plan that meets their child's educational needs.
Please note that ESA+ eligibility and award determinations are made by the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority (NCSEAA), and The XyayX Institute does not determine eligibility for the program.
Already Have an ESA+ Award?
If your child has already been approved for ESA+ funding, The XyayX Institute may be able to provide approved educational services through our ESA+ program. We encourage families to contact us to discuss their student's needs, review available services, and determine how ESA+ funds may be used to support their educational goals.
Our team can help families explore available learning options, including in-person, hybrid, virtual, supplemental, and specialized educational support services.
