Funding your child's education

Financial Aid

NAML offers three pathways to help families make Islamic education affordable.

Tuition Assistance (Zakat-eligible)

NAML Academy maintains a financial aid fund that provides tuition assistance to families who qualify. Contributions to this fund are Zakat-eligible, meaning donors in the community can direct their obligatory giving toward supporting students in need.

Assistance is awarded based on demonstrated financial need. Families interested in applying should contact the admissions office directly to request an application and learn about the review process.

[CLIENT TO PROVIDE: eligibility criteria (income thresholds or family size guidelines), application deadline, and whether aid is awarded annually or per semester.]


Special Education Funding

Students enrolled in NAML's Special Education program may be eligible for state and federal funding that offsets tuition and service costs. These funds can cover tuition assistance for families whose ESA funding does not cover the full cost, specialized therapy services (speech, occupational, physical, and behavioral), classroom aides and behavioral interventionists, adaptive learning materials and assistive technology, and emergency financial aid for families facing hardship.

Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, learning disabilities, dyslexia, and processing disorders are among those who have benefited. NAML also maintains a donation fund specifically for Special Education students, allowing community members to support this program directly.

[CLIENT TO PROVIDE: ESA program name used by NAML (Texas ESA or other), how families initiate a Special Education funding inquiry, and whether families apply through NAML or directly with the state.]


TX Empowerment Voucher (TEFA)

NAML Academy is an approved school for the Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program. This state-funded voucher allows eligible families to use public education dollars at an approved private school.

Key details based on publicly available state information: the program is open to all Texas public school-eligible children from Pre-K through 12th grade, with no income cap, though priority is given to students with disabilities and low-to-moderate-income families. General funding is approximately $10,000 to $10,900 per year; students with disabilities may qualify for up to $30,000 per year. Funds are managed through an Education Savings Account overseen by the Texas Comptroller and disbursed directly to approved schools. The program launches in the 2026 to 2027 school year.

[CLIENT TO PROVIDE: TEFA application portal link once the state opens it (expected before May 15, 2026), NAML's specific approval status number, and which program levels at NAML are eligible for TEFA funding.]
