Strengthen your school — without surrendering an inch of independence
The EFTC helps families afford the Christian education your school provides, while your governance, admissions, and curriculum remain entirely yours.
Indirect funding, direct impact
The EFTC supports schools indirectly — scholarship assistance reaches your families for qualified educational expenses, and your school stays exactly what it is.
Scholarships flow to your families
Awards are made for the benefit of students and directed to schools — easing tuition barriers for the families you already serve.
Your independence stays intact
Schools retain their governance, admissions, and curriculum. Participation never requires altering religious instruction or educational philosophy.
Administered with accountability
Renew Scholarships administers awards in accordance with federal and state requirements, so your team can stay focused on students.
Stronger schools build stronger communities
The EFTC expands educational opportunity through private, voluntary participation — a framework that encourages civic generosity without federal control over schools.
More families, more options
Eligible families gain access to education options that fit their children — including yours.
Faith-based models supported
The program supports diverse educational models, including schools committed to a biblical worldview.
Local decisions, not federal control
Participation by states and organizations is voluntary — implementation reflects local priorities, and no federal control extends over schools.
We handle the administrative heavy lifting
Every registered school gets its own secure portal, built so your team can focus on students — not spreadsheets.
Custom branding
Brand your school's donation page with your own logo and colors.
Included with every school registration
Student & award tracking
Input student data and track scholarship awards by semester or school year.
Automated reporting
Real-time reports on pledges, received funds, and distributions — exportable to PDF or Excel.
Donor engagement
See and message the donors supporting your school, with automated thank-you notes and reminders.
Staff permissions
Assign roles — accountant, teacher, volunteer — with customized access levels for security and accountability.
A simple three-step connection process
Verify state eligibility
Your school must be located in a covered state — one that has formally opted into the federal program and submitted its registry of certified SGOs to the U.S. Treasury.
Submit the school form
Complete the registration form via our School Portal. As part of our commitment to faith-based education, schools submit a Statement of Faith to verify they are Christian-based before approval.
Connect and train
Once approved, your school receives its own secure portal, and our team trains your staff to manage students, track awards, and communicate with donors.
