Tennessee Education Savings Account Program (ESA)

Brainerd Baptist School now participates in the TN Education Savings Account Program, offering financial aid based on household income, separate from BBS financial aid. Students can receive up to: $8,943.67 in funding.

The Education Savings Account Program is a scholarship for eligible students to use to attend participating nonpublic schools. The scholarship can be used for educational expenses such as tuition, textbooks, technology, and uniforms.

  • Any student who is zoned to attend a Memphis-Shelby County School, Metro Nashville Public School, Hamilton County School, or a school in the Achievement School District, and is entering grades K-12. Additional eligibility requirements can be found on the website below.
