To make Mathnasium's premium-quality math tutoring available to families in Frisco, Preston Ridge, and Sedona, we've created a list of available funding options that can be used for tuition at our center in East Frisco.
From Texas grants to national scholarships, the 4 trusted funding providers we identified either name Mathnasium of Frisco East as an approved vendor or allow their funds to be used for tutoring services like ours.
For more information about their funds, eligibility criteria, and other details, please visit each provider's official website for more information.
Parent-Directed Special Education Services (PDSES), previously known as Supplemental Special Education Services (SSES), is a Texas Education Agency grant program that helps eligible families pay for additional educational support.
The grant can cover tutoring, educational materials, and other approved services that directly benefit a child’s education. It supplements the special education services a public school must provide, rather than replacing them.
Grant Amount: A one-time $1,500 grant per eligible student.
Applicable to Mathnasium: Yes. Mathnasium of Frisco East is an approved PDSES tutoring provider.
Eligibility: Texas families whose children attend a Texas public school in Pre-K–12, receive special education through an individualized education program (IEP), and have not previously received an SSES/PDSES grant. Children who have a Section 504 plan but do not receive special education services through an IEP are not eligible for this grant.
Application Deadline: Exact dates have not yet been announced. The next application window is scheduled for spring 2027 for the 2026–27 school year.
If your child receives a grant, the funds are placed in a ClassWallet account rather than paid to your family as cash. You can use that account to pay approved providers for eligible services.
PDSES does not reimburse expenses you have already paid out of pocket, so confirm the provider and payment arrangements before paying for tutoring yourself.
Grants depend on available funding, with priority given to students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. An eligible application may be placed on a waiting list, so families should not schedule services assuming that funding will arrive by a particular date.
To apply, visit the SPEDTex Parent Portal during an open application window and follow these steps:
Check your child’s eligibility and sign up for application updates.
Create or access your SPEDTex Parent Portal account.
Submit the online application during the spring 2027 application window.
Check your email and portal for updates. If funding is awarded, follow the ClassWallet instructions and activate the account within 30 days of receiving the account email.
Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) is a state-funded program administered by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. It helps participating families pay for approved educational expenses outside the public-school system, including:
Private-school tuition
Instructional materials
Private tutoring
Here are the funding amounts, eligibility requirements, and application details:
Funding Amount: For the 2026–27 school year, funding is $10,474 per student attending an approved private school. Qualifying private-school students with an IEP may receive up to $30,000, depending on their individual circumstances. Students in homeschool or other nonpublic education settings may receive up to $2,000. These amounts cover eligible educational expenses overall, rather than tutoring alone.
Applicable to Mathnasium: Mathnasium of Frisco East is an approved TEFA vendor.
Eligibility: Texas-resident children who meet the program’s citizenship or lawful-presence requirements and are eligible to attend a Texas public school. Participation requires the child not to be enrolled in a Texas public or charter school. Additional eligibility rules apply to Pre-K students.
Application Deadline: Applications for 2026–27 are closed. The official website offers updates for the 2027–28 application period, but exact dates have not yet been announced.
To prepare for the next application cycle, visit the official TEFA family information page:
Review the eligibility requirements and approved expenses.
Sign up for updates about the 2027–28 application period.
When applications reopen, follow the official application instructions and provide the required documentation.
If accepted, confirm Mathnasium of Frisco East’s current approval through the official TEFA Finder and arrange payment through your program account.
Families can use their TEFA accounts to pay approved providers for eligible educational services, which includes private tutoring. Any unused funds roll over to the next school year as long as the child remains in the program.
Families should confirm the provider’s approval and payment arrangements before scheduling tutoring they intend to fund through TEFA.
Eligibility does not guarantee an award. If applications exceed available funding, selection follows priority groups set by state law and a lottery process rather than a first-come, first-served system.
Priority is based on factors such as household income and qualifying special education needs. After the first year, siblings of participating children receive additional priority.
Folds of Honor is a national nonprofit organization that supports eligible military and first-responder families. Its Children’s Fund Scholarship helps cover K–12 private-school tuition or tutoring, including math support.
Scholarship Amount: Up to $5,000 per academic year, based on eligible expenses not covered by other financial aid.
Applicable to Mathnasium: Mathnasium of Frisco East accepts Folds of Honor scholarship funds for eligible students.
Eligibility: K–12 children of fallen U.S. service members or those with a qualifying condition, or fallen first responders or those with a qualifying career-ending catastrophic injury. Additional dependency requirements apply.
Application Deadline: While applications are closed for the current cycle, the next application window is expected to run February 1–March 31, 2027, based on the program’s annual schedule.
To apply, visit the official Folds of Honor scholarship page and follow the link to its application portal:
Review the Children’s Fund eligibility and document requirements.
Complete a separate application for each child during the application window.
List Mathnasium of Frisco East as the proposed tutoring provider and submit all required documents before the deadline.
Tutoring awards are paid directly to the approved provider in two installments of up to $2,500, one for fall and one for spring. Families must accept the award and submit the required invoices and check-in information before payment.
The full $5,000 is not automatic. Payments depend on the student’s eligible costs after other financial assistance is taken into account.
Our Military Kids is a national nonprofit organization that helps eligible military families pay for extracurricular activities. Its grants cover tutoring, sports, arts, and other activities that support children during a parent’s deployment or recovery.
Grant Amount: Up to $300 per child per grant. Additional grants may be available, depending on the parent’s deployment length or recovery circumstances.
Applicable to Mathnasium: Families should confirm with their local Mathnasium center whether Our Military Kids grant funds can be used for tutoring before enrolling.
Eligibility: Children ages 1–18, or those who have not yet graduated high school, whose parent meets the program’s qualifying deployment or combat-related injury requirements.
Application Deadline: No fixed annual deadline is listed. For deployment grants, the activity must start before the service member returns home. Recovery grants follow separate eligibility and timing rules.
The deployment program supports children of National Guard or Reserve members deployed overseas or activated on qualifying stateside missions for at least 60 days.
The recovery program supports children of service members or veterans receiving treatment for qualifying post-9/11 combat-related injuries or illnesses. Additional medical and service documentation is required.
If approved, the family receives a check payable to the activity provider and delivers it to that organization. Our Military Kids says it has never turned away an eligible child, but awards remain subject to available funding.
To apply, visit the official Our Military Kids application page:
Select the deployment or combat-injury program and review its requirements.
Gather the required service documents, proof of the child’s relationship to the service member, and documentation of the tutoring cost.
Submit a separate application for each child and each requested grant.
The process of choosing a tutoring option for a child often brings questions such as how tuition at a specific center works, what membership includes, and if there are available discounts. The questions, however, do not end there.
Here are a few FAQs parents ask about tutoring at Mathnasium of Frisco East and answers that may make your decision easier.

Our membership also provides more than individual tutoring sessions. Each student receives an assessment-based, personalized learning plan and face-to-face instruction from specially trained tutors.
Instead of focusing only on an upcoming test or current homework, our approach addresses gaps in understanding, builds confidence, and helps your student develop lasting math mastery.

Mathnasium of Frisco East is a math-only learning center dedicated to helping K-12 students excel in math.
We personalize every student’s learning through the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach designed to build a deep and lasting understanding of math.
Each student begins their Mathnasium journey with a diagnostic assessment. That gives us a clear picture of where they currently stand with math, whether there are any potential skill gaps, and how they think and feel about math.
Assessment-based insights help us create a personalized learning plan to close those gaps and build a solid math foundation. As your child’s understanding grows, we introduce new concepts in a logical order.
From there, our specially trained tutors follow the plan closely, using a combination of mental, verbal, visual, tactile, and written techniques to explain math in ways that make sense to your child, at a pace that suits them.
If students get stuck on any math concept, we break it down into manageable steps and teach both the how and the why behind them.
We provide face-to-face support in a warm and engaging environment, and help students expand their mathematical thinking and become more confident in their abilities, which helps them both in the classroom and beyond.
