Alabama
Alabama's program is called CHOOSE Act Alabama.
Stay tuned! We are actively working on getting approved.  It would help if you contacted your state program on our behalf as there is a backlog of vendors working on getting approved. This program does not provide for reimbursements, you must purchase through ClassWallet.   Updated 25 July 2026
Arkansas
Arkansas's official Education Savings Account (ESA) program is called the Arkansas Children's Educational Freedom Account Program, though it is most commonly referred to simply as the Education Freedom Account (EFA) program.  We are actively working on getting approved.  In the meantime, we were told Arkansas does allow reimbursement for vendors that have not been approved, if their products meet program guidelines. Our products almost certainly do but if you are concerned, check with your program before ordering if you can't support the cost of our materials on your own.
